This time I made Bavarian kraut....this is some tasty stuff. Much sweeter than the last batch that I made with 1 head of green and 1 head of red cabbage...that stuff was really sour (but quite good).


As an added bonus I had 2 cups of juice left over. I'll put that to good use as a starter for some other fermented veggies.
 
Damon, OK..... I need to know what Bavarian Kraut consists of.....  I just emptied my crock from red cabbage kraut and it is lonely.....

OK, ok....I'm trying to remember what the recipe was and I think this is the gist of it.

  • 8-10 cups shredded cabbage, loosely packed (about 2 lbs), about 1 cabbage
  • 10 juniper  berries
  • 1 tsp. caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp. yellow mustard seeds
  • 1-2 tsp. un-iodized or pickling salt
  • 1 c. filtered water mixed with 1 tsp. salt

I adapted it for 10 pounds and salted to make a 3.5% brine solution by weight. This recipe is just the beginning....cooked up with bacon and potatoes is one of the ways that I plan on eating it. There are many variations on this but I chose a simple one to try first....it's pretty darn good too!
