The Great Homemade Sauerkaut Experiment
This is probably shorter on photos that you would want, but 1) I forgot and 2) there really wasn't much to show!
Being overwhelmed with cabbage, I had to do something with it before it got too old. This is one concern of mine...that 2 of the heads were starting to dry out. Hopefully, there is enough moisture in them for the salt to draw out. I purchased a sauerkraut maker from therawdiet.com. I could have just used a bucket and a water-filled bag or something, but with a plethora or pets, that's not a good idea.
I used 3 heads of purple cabbage, and 1 head of the savoy cabbage that I had left. This was just enough to cram the shredded bits into the glass container. 3 Tablespoons of pickling salt were added. I hope this enough! We'll find out soon enough I suppose. I'll be sure to keep you posted.


Oh, and here are our week#whatever veggies!
Acorn Squash
Delicata Squash
Onions
