I may have mentioned this a few weeks back, or not, but I shredded up cabbage to make kraut, well today was the day to do something, so I home canned it. I got 18 pints and yes it is awesome! Have you ever made your own kraut?

No, we have not. We did find a Farmers market here in the area though that makes their own Kraut and we are planning on getting a few the next time we are in that area if we can afford too.

I imagine it would cost more because the cost of getting rid of he jar, that is what is pricey.

I haven't made my own kraut. That's a lot of kraut. What are you planning to do with all of those bottles?

i guess it's similar to our atchara, which is pickled shredded green papaya, but the taste is sweet and sour. it's usually paired with fried, grilled or roasted food.

No I have never made sauerkraut, it is something I find ready made in every grocery store here in Switzerland, it's very good and also extremely inexpensive.

@andriaperry I cannot say that it is my favorite food and I think we had sauerkraut twice during the whole winter. I can live without it if they were not sold.

Yes but if there were not a store to buy it, well I can make it

We only ever tried sauerkraut once and thought it was awful. We've never had it since.

@andriaperry We found it too sour. We weren't used to anything other than very plain English-style, meat and 3 veg type meals.

That's impressive. I have never tried to make it by myself. I am afraid it will go wrong if I try to do.

I've heard about it but I never know how it looks it. Problem solved then. So kraut is pickled cabbages? What else did you add to it?
