Does anyone have any experience making

Posted: Jul 4, 2012

I got interested in this after hearing a radio show about fermented foods and the recipe seemed simple, cabbage, salt, let it sit out for 4 weeks or so and there you have it. My cabbage has been sitting out for a couple of weeks now and is actually sort of looking like the sauerkraut you get in the cans. Has anyone ever made this, eaten it and lived to tell the tale? Thanks and happy 4th!

I know people who do. They live still. - sm

If there were hazards, you would have read about them. I think you are ok. Give it a taste. We will wait for you to let us know how it is.

I do know Russians who make the stuff. Aside from complaints about watery American cabbage, they seem to do fine.

I have helped make it.....See msg. - MT55

Helped my stepmom make it a few yrs ago, & it was great. Tried on my own the next year, but failed. She processed hers in quart jars in a canning/water bath for 15-20 minutes. Then she said not to eat it for 4-6 weeks to let it "ripen." It is SO good & great poured over a pork roast and roasted in the oven.

My mom used to make it for several years, and people would practically beg her for a few jars. It was so good, and it spoiled me. Since she is gone I buy it in jars at the store. I remember her laughing at how our Westie kept stealing the towels mom used to cover the crocks. You will love it, and this will probably be the first of many years of making your own. Enjoy!

Thanks for the encouragement... - only two more weeks and

I'll hopefully have a batch of delicious, healthy sauerkraut!

my mom used to make the best sauerkraut - sadMT

she'd buy the sauerkraut in the bags, fill up her biggest pot with sauerkraut and water & let it simmer for a couple of days... don't forget to keep adding water if it boils down. On the third day, the pork went in. I really can't tell you if she pre-cooked the pork in some way. Her secret ingredient... apple sauce! She'd throw in a couple of jars on the last day. Took away the bitterness. People who didn't even like sauerkraut liked my mom's! The house stunk for 3 days while it cooked, but we always said she cooked the farts out. It's true. We never got gas after eating it. I sure miss that New Year's tradition.

I also remember my mom making it when I was very young. I know she made it in crocks and it was a long process, but I never made it when I grew up. I just buy mine in the store. I cannot remember the steps but it looked like too much trouble to me, but that is what I remember as a child. I still have the crocks she made it in, but she is now gone. Miss her terribly. She loved to cane. Funny though now I do not care for canning, but I love to cook and bake. I still have some of her jars and gadgets she used. It looks from the economy I might just have to learn. I know how she put up tomatoes and white half-runner beans, but she did not like us kids bothering her when she was canning. She had the most prettiest garden too. Then she would split the cans of beans and tomatoes with her, my sister and I. I so miss that now. For any of you young people that yours moms can take it from me you would not regret learning to can and be sure and take notes or videos of how she does it for they will not be around forever and I guarantee one of these days you will be wishing you had paid attention. Now, I will just have to Google it or look on Youtube. I do have her old cookbooks too.

Making kraut is fairly easy - pretty much just

chopped cabbage, salt and fermentation time, maybe some herbs to make it region specific (i.e. kimchee has hot peppers in it). I would love to have some beautiful heirloom crocks to make it in, but only am able to use glass bowls now! Canning I think is a lot more complicated.

He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow, guided me into his room and quietly shut the door. We were alone. He approached soundlessly from behind and spoke in a soft voice: "Just relax." Without warning, he reached down and soon I felt his strong hands start at my ankles, gently probing, moving steadily upward along my calves. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, yet somehow I just didn't care. His touch was experienced and sure. As his hands moved up my thig ...

The online seller, a fitness company, has now submitted their evidence. They claim I bought it and they shippe ...

Anyone ever have a person in their past that they miss and can't get out of their heads; you just wish they would somehow walk back into your life just to be near them again if only for a moment to feel what you used to feel? Does that sound pathetic? If you tell someone this they tell you to let it go, but you really don't want to - you just want to hold on. ...

But, I don't want to give them away.&nb ...

With the summer weather in my "neck of the woods," my feet and ankles have been swollen and yesterday I was put on atenolol, which the doc said would help with my blood pressure and the swelling. About an hour after I took the first dose, my heart started to have a "fluttery" (for lack of a better word) feeling. This lasted for several hours (even through a nap), but finally completely subsided about 6 hours after I took the first dose. I have OCD and really hate going to the doctor, and ...
