This year we were running a couple of weeks late, but it's finally ready to eat! That odd looking jar in front the toaster has fermented whole cabbage leaves for stuffing/wrapping. That's 9 quart jars and 6 pint jars -or three gallons of kraut there in the pic. We are filling the crock again tomorrow -for a total of 6 gallons. That should last us all year and have enough to give some away for Christmas.
If you've never made sauerkraut, now is a good time. Makes a grilled cheese sandwich taste like heaven! Makes a good sausage even better!
And it's good for you! Eaten raw (like on top of yummy cheese toast) it replenishes good bacteria inside your tummy. Has vitamins and stuff too.
Also makes great Christmas presents. Everyone prefers homemade Christmas presents.
Kraut will last well over a year in your fridge. Without refrigeration it can last weeks or months depending on the temperature. Cabbage is cheap to buy and cheaper to grow in any economy. We use a nice fermentation crock, but you can make it in a bucket if you want. Good survival food can be tasty.
