Sauerkraut
On June 20th, David and I shredded five heads of cabbage (three green, two red), wilted them with salt, and stuffed them into mason jars. Then, we waited…and waited…
Four weeks later, we opened the first of the Sauerkraut Megabatch. In the jars that we had mixed red and green cabbage, the resulting sauerkraut turned light pink, while the ones that were only red cabbage wer very dark red. We hadn’t come across any green sauerkraut until this evning.
I just opened the last of the batch - a 2-liter jar! We had layered the cabbage in this particular jar and the colors bled. The bottom of the jar has green sauerkraut and the top is a dark red color.
No matter what color, the sauerkraut is all delicious!
