How I make my Sauerkraut

  • All you need to do is cut the cabbage into thin slices
  • Pack it into a jar, plastic bucket or basin, stainless steel pan, or what-ever vessel that you already have. Don’t use aluminum.
  • Add a tablespoon of salt of salt for every five pounds.
  • Hammer it down with your fists, or use any vegetable smasher. Get angry and really make the juice come out.
  • Mix in the salt and press the mixture down until the juice comes out.
  • As a last resort add a small amount of water–just enough water to cover the batch.

Press it down every day. After a few days, the bubbles and delicious smells will begin. Eat whenever your appetite overpowers your mental refraining  powers
