Steps:
- Mix cabbage, onion, sea salt, and garlic together in a bowl. Firmly pack mixture into a large, clean, food-grade plastic bucket. The cabbage will start to make its own brine as the salt starts to draw out the water of the cabbage.
- Fill a large, clean, food-grade plastic bag with water and place over the salted cabbage mixture so none of the cabbage is exposed to air.
- Allow cabbage to ferment in a cool, dry place, 1 to 4 weeks (depending on how tangy you like your sauerkraut). The temperature of the room you ferment the sauerkraut in should not rise above 70 degrees F (21 degrees C).

Steps:
- Quarter cabbages and remove cores; slice 1/8 in. thick. In an extra-large bowl, combine salt and cabbage. With clean hands, squeeze cabbage until it wilts and releases liquid, about 10 minutes. If desired, add optional ingredients., Firmly pack cabbage mixture into 4-quart fermenting crock or large glass container, removing as many air bubbles as possible. If cabbage mixture is not covered by 1-2 inches of liquid, make enough brine to cover by 1-2 inches. To make brine, combine 4-1/2 teaspoons canning salt per 1 quart of water in a saucepan; bring to a boil until salt is dissolved. Cool brine before adding to crock., Place crock weight over cabbage; the weight should be submerged in the brine. Or, place an inverted dinner plate or glass pie plate over cabbage. The plate should be slightly smaller than the container opening, but large enough to cover most of the shredded cabbage mixture. Weigh down the plate with 2 or 3 sealed quart jars filled with water. If using a glass container with a lid, cover the opening loosely so any gas produced by the fermenting cabbage can escape. Alternately, you can cover the opening with a clean, heavy towel. If using a crock, seal according to manufacturer's instructions. , Store crock, undisturbed, at 70°-75° for 3-4 weeks (bubbles will form and aroma will change). Cabbage must be kept submerged below surface of the fermenting liquid throughout fermentation. Check crock 2-3 times each week; skim and remove any scum that may form on top of liquid. Fermentation is complete when bubbling stops. Transfer to individual containers. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

Steps:
- Thoroughly wash a large tub or bowl (we used on the size of a small washing-up bowl), then rinse with boiling water from the kettle. Make sure that your hands, and everything else coming into contact with the cabbage, are very clean. It's wise to use a container that will comfortably fit the softened cabbage, allowing several inches of room at the top to avoid overflow.
- Shred the cabbage thinly - a food processor makes light work of this. Layer the cabbage and the salt in the tub or bowl. Massage the salt into the cabbage for 5 mins, wait 5 mins, then repeat. You should end up with a much-reduced volume of cabbage sitting in its own brine. Mix in the caraway seeds and the peppercorns.
- Cover the surface of the cabbage entirely with a sheet of cling film, then press out all the air bubbles from below. Weigh the cabbage down using a couple of heavy plates, or other weights that fit your bowl, and cover as much of the cabbage as possible. The level of the brine will rise to cover the cabbage a little. Cover the tub and leave in a dark place at a cool room temperature (about 18-20C) for at least five days. It will be ready to eat after five days, but for maximum flavour leave the cabbage to ferment for anywhere between 2-6 weeks (or until the bubbling subsides).
- Check the cabbage every day or so, releasing any gases that have built up as it ferments, giving it a stir to release the bubbles. If any scum forms, remove it, rinse the weights in boiling water and replace the cling film. You should see bubbles appearing within the cabbage, and possibly some foam on the top of the brine. It's important to keep it at an even, cool room temperature - too cool and the ferment will take longer than you'd like, too warm and the sauerkraut may become mouldy or ferment too quickly, leading to a less than perfect result.
- The cabbage will become increasingly sour the longer it's fermented, so taste it now and again. When you like the flavour, transfer it to smaller sterilised jars. Will keep in the fridge for up to six months.

This is a comfort food that reminds me of visiting my grandparents. They always had kielbasa and sauerkraut among the holiday feasts. Kielbasa tastes best when it is sliced thickly and placed on the bottom of the pot before you begin cooking.

Steps:
- Discard the outer leaves of the heads of cabbage and cut them in halves or quarters.
- Pack them in a 30-quart plastic barrel (the ones used for homemade beer and wine are perfect).
- Measure the amount of water needed to cover the cabbage with a 1-inch margin.
- Bring that amount of water (app. 12-14 quarts) to a boil together with the salt.
- Let cool.
- Dissolve the yoghurt in the water.
- Add the water to the cabbage and cover. Make sure that the cabbage stays underwater by means of a weight (e.g. a plate and a (clean!) brick.
- Let ferment in 50-70°F Bubbles, foam and even mold may form on the surface. This is not dangerous, but has to be skimmed off regularly. The cabbage will smell foul during the fermentation process, so ventilation is preferred if stored indoors.
- Taste to desired acidity. Time depends on temperature, but is usually 3-5 weeks.
- Save a little of the liquid to use next time. This will then serve as the start culture and replace the yoghurt. Discard the rest of the water.
- The sauerkraut should now be frozen to stop fermentation.

- Combine the shredded cabbage and sea salt in a big bowl. Stir. Taste and ensure it tastes like salty cabbage -- still pleasant but a bit on the salty side.
- Cover the bowl with cheesecloth or a light cloth and let it sit for 30 minutes or an hour to get juicy. (The salt will begin pulling moisture out of the cabbage.)
- Pack well into a clean 1-gallon crock to 2/3 or 3/4 full. (I use the Prepper Pro to pack the cabbage down tightly.)

- Wash your mason jar, tools, and hands thoroughly with natural soap and hot water. When fermenting, you want to give the healthy bacteria a clean environment to prevent mold. I usually pour boiling water into and over the Mason jar after washing it with soap to kill off any potential lingering bacteria.
- Cut your cabbage into quarters, leaving the root end attached. Discard the outermost layers, then save a few of the next layers to weigh the cabbage down in the jar. Do not wash the cabbage—you’re relying on the natural healthy bacteria that live on the leaves for the fermentation process.
- Choose your preferred texture. Thinly slice each cabbage quarter into ribbons, or shred it on a box grater for finer sauerkraut. Same with the other tools, if you use the box grater, make sure it’s very clean.

- Use 1-1.5% of salt. If your cabbage weighs 1 kg, use 10-15 grams of salt. Mine weighed 1.3 kg and I used 20 grams of sea salt.
- Now cut the cabbage into quarters and trim out the core. Using a sharp large knife, slice each quarter down its length into very thin ribbons. The thinner you will cut the cabbage, the better will be the result. You can also use a mandolin, however, please watch your fingers!

From morethanmeatandpotatoes.com
- Remove the core from the head of cabbage, then cut into small pieces. They don’t need to be uniform in size or shape.
- Place the cabbage in a large bowl, sprinkle with sea salt, and put on a pair of clean kitchen gloves. Begin to work the salt into the cabbage with your hands. Continue to massage the cabbage for several minutes. The cabbage will start to break down and soften, forming a liquid that will settle in the bottom of the bowl. This process could take from 15 to 20 minutes. Continue to work the cabbage until the liquid in the bowl comes over the top of the cabbage when the vegetable is pressed down.
- Transfer the cabbage and its liquid to glass jars or a fermentation crock. It’s helpful to have weights to place on the cabbage to weigh it down below the liquid. If necessary, add a touch of mineral water to ensure the cabbage is completely submerged in liquid.

- 1. The first step in any fermentation project, no matter how basic, is cleanliness. You’ll need clean equipment, a clean product, and clean hands since you’ll be using them to incorporate the salt into the cabbage.
- 2. Discard the outer leaves of the cabbage and the head of cabbage, then slice into quarters. Remove the core, and thinly slice or shred crosswise. (Depending on how long you like your cabbage ribbons, you can halve each quarter again for shorter strands.)
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the salt on top of the cabbage. Massage the salt into the leaves with your hands for about 5 minutes, until leaves are beginning to feel wilted and watery. If using caraway seeds, add to the large bowl and mix to evenly distribute.

- Cut the cabbage into quarters, then remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage, then place it in a large shallow bowl. Sprinkle with the sea salt. Knead the cabbage by hand or with a potato masher for 5 to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, there will probably be enough liquid released from the cabbage to cover it.
- Place ¼ of the cabbage in a quart sized mason jar, then pack it down with a wooden spoon. Repeat with the remaining cabbage, packing down a couple more times. Pour in the brine (the liquid that was released during the kneading process), and add as much water as needed to cover the cabbage. Leave at least an inch of space at the top of the jar. Place a small glass jar (or fermentation weights) on top of the cabbage to keep the cabbage fully submerged.
- Cover the jar with butter muslin or a standard jar lid. If you use a lid, make sure to open it every couple days to release the pressure. Place the jar in a bowl in case it leaks. Store it at room temperature (60 to 70 degrees) for at least a week. Taste and see if it’s reached the tanginess you like, and once it has, transfer it to the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 6 months.

- Core and Slice Cabbage. To start, quarter the cabbage and remove the cores. Then slice the cabbage thinly (1/8-inch thick is perfect). Work slowly and carefully—it’s a lot of chopping!
- Squeeze, Squeeze and Squeeze Some More. After letting your cabbage rest with the salt, it’s time to squeeze. Squeezing all this cabbage has several benefits according to Josh.
- Prep Any Extras. To make traditional sauerkraut, all you need is cabbage and salt. However, if you want to amp up the flavor a bit, you can add additional ingredients.

- Remove the outer leaves of your cabbage, slice it in half and remove the core. Shred your cabbage by either using the slicing blade of a food processor or by using a sharp knife. Transfer the shredded cabbage to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the salt to the shredded cabbage and use clean hands to massage the cabbage until the salt has dissolved and the cabbage has begun to wilt – massage for at least 5 minutes.
- At this point it is helpful to allow the cabbage to rest for 20 to 30 minutes – the salt will continue to draw the liquid out of the cabbage and you will find a lot of liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
