Sauerkraut recipe

[WaterRat]

Hey All! Looking to make some sauerkraut. With St. Pattys right around the corner Stop n Slop has cabbage for 17cents/lb, I have all the equipment (from my failed jalapeno ferment last fall) just looking for a decent recipe. I like kraut with a little bite, not mush, and a robust flavor. I realize it’s just 99% cabbage and salt but it’s the little things that make the difference

I’m assuming you have a crock? I run mine from 1.5-20% salt. I lace the cabbage with garlic, onion, jalapeño, sometimes carrots and or radishes. I also mix red and green cabbage, that’s more of a presentation thing, but it’s absolutely delicious.

I have 1/2 gallon mason jars, 6 of em so Im willing to mix it up a bit

Very true, nor do I expect it ti be, but the cabbage is close to free because of St Paddys
