I made sauerkraut for the first time Thursday... we'll see how it turns out. : )
I was at Spicer Bros Produce in Oregon City last week and was shocked to see the biggest cabbage ever! I eat cabbage all the time... fresh, sauted, steamed, roasted, there is always both green and red varieties in my frig!
Being a lover of kraut, but never attempting to make it myself, I took the challenge and bought the 15.26lb monstrosity. I found a recipe on wikihow and started the endeavor.
I purchased a glass crock specifically for this task at World Market ($14.99), with rubber mouth seal and stainless top. The neck is smaller that the body of the crock, which is a bit of an issue but I made it work. I would recommend to buy (if you don't already have) a crock with no 'neck'.
It took me over an hour to slice-and-dice the beast, but we have kraut - should be done in time for Thanksgiving!! Will let you know how it turned out...
PEAS OUT!
