Kraut Canning

I belong to several canning groups on Facebook - one of the gals said her husbands family has this fool proof method of canning kraut so will try it today. Cabbage is on at the veg stands and got these big heads of kraut cabbage for $2 ea.

The solution is one gallon warm water, 1/2 cup white vinegar, and ad one teaspoon canning salt to each jar of shredded cabbage.

Our old Cuisinart broke and will be using the new heavier duty unit for the first time today.

We'll see how this goes. I got 4 gallons of kraut from two heads.
I imagine it will settle as it ferments in the jar.

Whoa, 4 gallons, LOL!

Great job!

Here is a recipe that I used to make all the time with the trimmings from spare ribs, but you can use any cut of pork rib. You certainly have enough kraut and cabbage for this dish!

I know it got out of hand but that was just two heads of cabbage. I'll plan around the kraut and spare ribs and kraut will be first, then a French choucroute. I've lots of ideas.

I gave the other two heads to my daughter-in-law today. She will do hers in a crock.
