Sauerkraut Recipes

I got a late, late start and my Cabbage is just starting to head out. Plus we had a totally abnormal weather year. I am on pins and needles daily as if I will get decent heads. I cannot function without my kraut. I may need a counselor. :confused3:

Are there still head shops around? Surely they will be selling cabbage heads, right?

Didn't plant any this year, have plenty canned in the cellar. Doing salsa this year and canned tomatoes. Next year will be cabbage.

In the same boat, late start and heads are about 4" across.

4 inches is more than I have right now. My 2018 seed bombed (no sprouts) on me and I had to reorder and replant. Lost about a month. Plus I use Red Cabbage for kraut and my tried and true variety grows slower.

Debating now if I will eat kraut with my peanut butter spaghetti tonight. :confused2:

Oh, you are behind. They may still get some size on them. I've done the old seed route too, pretty rare to get any plants out of the old stuff.

We just laid in 3 gallons of salsa yesterday and I'm sick of shucking ears and stripping cobs. Least the horses and the cattle eat everything.

I sliced 7 pounds of red cabbage the other day. It'll be 'cooking' in a dark corner for the next few weeks. I haven't used red cabbage for kraut before and it looks a little strange to me, but it should brighten up my brat sandwiches.

We did last year. It will lighten up a tad but retain a deep red color. No difference in taste.

Batch #1 in the crock. It went over by 1 quart so I used one of my pickle setups for that.

I'll probably ferment cabbage next year, we are running low.

I had some of my red cabbage kraut on some hot dogs last night. That bright red/purple kraut really brightens up a sandwich!

I found a recipe to pickle my end of the season green tomatoes. :scratchchin: :scratchchin:

My wife says good luck with eating them :shocked:

I LOVE my kimchi kraut on hot dogs! Along with pickles, onions and Dijon mustard. SLURP !

Bought a 5th air lock crock. Not like my beloved Harsch Crocks (went out of business). But it should work.

Harsch look alike.... I tend to use an open top crock with a close fitting ceramic dinner plate with a stone weight on top, covered with a plastic trash bag to reduce the oxygen and keep the Kalm under control. Have have a couple large (heavy) ones. When full they need to be sitting on moving dollies so I can move them around. Next year is cabbage year here. Still consuming canned kraut from 2 years ago.

Being the good hill billy I am, only thing green 'maters' get here is sliced and breaded and deep fried until crisp. Interesting arrangement with the water locks. Where did you get them?
