    Hi Mary! I've been making kraut for decades & as I have gotten older, I found a trick to save on some of the elbow grease required to break down the fibers. After shredding, I put the sliced cabbage into a heavy clear bag and use my rolling pin to work in the salt. It saves wear & tear on my arthritic hands. And I have an ancient designated crock for the fermenting. Old school, but it works great!

    Apple does the trick. Turned out absolutely delicious. I’m eating it like a candy. I used to have heartburn and digestive problems regardless of how healthy and light I eat. Since the kraut is on my daily menu, the heartburn is completely GONE!!! Talking about naturally heal you guts flora. I highly recommend it to everyone. I made a huge jar about 2 -3 weeks ago and I have about 1/3 left. I’m making a new batch today from 7 cabbages. I’ll never run out of this wonderful dish. Love, love, love it. Thank you Mary.

    Mary, in EU you actually squeeze the cabbage with your hands as much as you can but if you can not, you just mix the salt into the leaves, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit for about 3 hours and the salt does the job. You use the wooden masher to push the cabbage in the jar so it's pushed in really well so there is no air between the layers of cabbage, air between the leaves can cause yeast and mold to grow in your fermented product. We used stone/ceramic pickling jars too, but now it's impossible to find them, or they charge a fortune for them if you do.

    Your taste test sounded absolutely delicious! My father used to make sauerkraut but I didn’t understand the process. I loved store bought all my life because that’s what Momma served. After my mother passed, my father made and kept his homemade stuff in the tool shed (he lived in Tampa) and I went to visit and saw those jars just bubbling away!! I told my father that he needed to throw those out because he was going to end up with botulism!! He told me to get my hands off his kraut immediately! He was protective of those jars. It took me several years before I found out that his kraut was doing just fine and I should keep my mouth shut about his recipes in the shed. He made strawberry jam and pie crusts too. I miss him and Momma. There is so much they could have taught me if I would just have just kept my mouth shut and listened.

      Gigi Quillian, Oh, you said it so well! The same are we, all the humans in regard to our Father in the heavens' WORD, His LAW !!!! But we are giving each other our own wisdom and die...
      Reading/listening to the BIBLE anyone can see/hear The TRUTH !!!! That is all there: One God, One Son of His = One LAW/Word, one people to be! It's just like our family: are we one? Or we are no family at all, but a bunch of gentiles...
      The Lord, our Father in heavens, named Yah (YHVH),
      has a Son - a Jewish Son,
      named YAHoshua (literally meaning "Yah saves"!),
      or simply Yeshua (Yeshu ---> Yisou(s), in Greek, which means ... nothing; it's only a transliteration/trans-letter... +s, as in Greek).
      In English is Jesus, which has nothing to do with the Name of the LORD of everything: YAHoshua!
      HE was NEVER a Greek! As HE was never an American, a Latin, etc.
      Reading 1 chapter of the BIBLE takes +/- 10 minutes.
      But it takes also an honest heart to receive it all. 💞
      Without the Old Testament, one cannot understand correctly the New Testament, the Good News of the LORD.
      The last one is not destroying the first one! The last one is an Appendix, an Additional Act to the first one, as God Himself said through the Prophet JEREMIAH:

    For a seal on top of jar, use a sandwich bag and rubber band. Put the bag over the top with rubber band around the neck, you can then see the fermentation happening and gently pull the bag and rubber band away from the side and vent the gases. It re-seals easy peasy.

      @@MrAngryGorilla2000 Well sorry but I'd have to be a little defensive about the statement. The raw organism&making procedure of the food being cabbage and fermentation Versus baechu (asian cabbage) and fermentation doesn't mean the two foods are technically or basically the same.
      I have made sauerkraut myself for several times and I've seen the process of making kimchi and fermenting it my whole life since when I was a little kid, like 4 or 5, as family gathering and making kimchi is a culture here in Korea since it's been a way of preparing a food supply throughout the cold wintertime.
      The factors that make them different, in my opinion, is that the vegetation itself is quite different to start with, the container you store it in is different (now we store it in kimchi refrigerator and traditionally before the electronics era it's been Ong-gi: a voluminous earthenware container.) and as you mentioned, the spices used is totally different. If you take notice to how the spices consist the food that has well aged and let-wholesomed food, the role not like condiments on a hotdog, the spices does not only soak into the vegetaion; baechu, it also participates in the fermentation process and also in the role of preservation of the food (the spices in kimchi play a big role in it, from what I have been seeing and experiencing from making food).
      There are so much more to talk about kimchi, but it seems I have wrote a bit too long. Anywhoo, I hope you enjoy what is offered from the big universe of civilization and take a full and wholesome use of the time and space that we've got. Sorry if I kinda surprised you with all these letters. Cheers and stay well!

    Nice recipe. to add my two pence I remember my parents used shredded carrots instead of an apple, plenty of it. They also kept the sauerkaraut in an oak barrel in an underground cold room (12C-15C) over the wintertime. In cold Siberian winter, the sauerkaraut was absolutely delicious.
    Also, shredded carrots add vitamins and improve the colour of the product.

They were made in the beginning of Autumn but we started consuming all those fermented stuff in the end of Autumn. Guess it took at least one month. It has to be made in the beginning of Autumn, right from fields as there were no such things as supermarkets there. We started consuming it in late Autumn when no greens left around us.

    My grandparents by adaption were born in Germany. They fermented everything. Kraut was a staple. She also used jars to age the kraut, but left the lids loose, set them on a lipped cookie tray that she lined with newspaper. Then as it fermented in the basement and burped up the extra juices, the newspaper caught the juices. My mom spent the money to buy extra large crocks. We made kraut and pickles in them all summer. So fabulous! Happy memories.

    Hi Mary I grew up around my maternal grandparents that immigrated from Germany, my grandmother was very old school when it came to cooking. My grandfather who was blind grew a massive garden in their back yard so my grandmother always had vegetables, with that said my grandmother always made sauerkraut , I never had store bought sauerkraut until I was a teenager (17) and needless to say I hated it. My grandmother taught me to make it the old fashioned way with the huge crock that made a ton of sauerkraut. I made it two or three times but the only one that ate it was my mom and dad and me until I got married. So I quit making it after my parents died. My current husband loves sauerkraut and now I can make it again only in smaller batches, ( when I made it before I used 10 heads of home grown cabbage & 25 bulbs of coarsely chopped garlic )so I thank you immensely for your video and I know my husband will thank you also. May your days be blessed and your blessings be plenty.

I’m so happy to have stumbled onto your RUclips. You hooked me with No Knead Sandwich Bread (which is delicious, by the way).

    The wooden pickle packer is very useful & the self burping rubber tops are genius!
    The weighted glass tops did take up the headspace & this morning I was siphoning off an inch of juice from each (quart) jar. (Learning by doing.)
    Today I’m going to make the red cabbage & will use the small 4oz jars for weights (but will still leave more space).

    I love making everything from scratch. I have no idea why it took me so long to try making sauerkraut. Today, I watched several RUclips videos on sauerkraut making and yours was, by far, the best. You have a very pleasant manner and I loved how you get right to it. Tomorrow, I’m picking up a gorgeous organic cabbage from the market to start my sauerkraut making journey. Thanks so much.

    Madam Mary,
    You have very well explained procedure for making homemade saurkraut.The in incubation time for fermentation at room temperature is about 7 days which probably you forgot to mention.
    We the professor of Microbiology have been teaching fermented foods in Food Microbiology to college students,highlighting the types of microorganisms involved in fermentation process and their role.

      I am thrilled you are teaching this to the young! Please get funding to actually make them physically do the job, even in groups of 3, and only 1 recipe per group. If they do it once, they continue for life. Or bring a cabbage/apple to class so each does their own jar, finish in class, fement in class, get graded and take home to use.

      We are doing this from ancient times in Romania. In barrels not in jars. B careful to not catch unhelty bacteria there.
      In winter is wonderful. We all do that. Sauerkraut is used in a dish called sarmale whit polenta( whit meat and herbs inside ). Very good, whit a lot of herbs. Yummy!...Juice of sauerkraut is used too in a dish.Ciorba. Tasty! Ciorba can b made whit sauerkraut juice or whit borş ...and whit more. Green fruits , lemon juice or vinegar...r so many dishes named ciorba. More tasty then soup sometimes...
      Is and a salad made from sauerkraut. A winter one.
      Sauerkraut is healty. But is smelly lol!!!
      We blow barrels ( wher cabbage is not shredded!!)and when we ...pfoai is moving ur nose:))))))... but sauerkraut is great.
      Fermantation depends on temperature.

    Thanks so much for this video, I found the tips and hints you've given us so helpful.
    Now, I looked on Amazon for the sauerkraut packer, and I found a nice wood one for about $20. But since I wanted to make mine today, I discovered a nice little work-around. My solution had a label on it, which I had to carefully remove, but the label identified it as "Lambrusco." Cost me about $10 since I'm not a connoisseur of fine wines, but it di,d, after all, come with a nice relaxing interior. And if you don't have one that's empty, while you're taking a break from mashing, mashing, a sip or two does nothing but help the process.
    Thanks again, this is an invaluable little primer. Now the hard part begins. Patience is not one of my biggest virtues.

    Thank you, Mary, for your share. I simplify by working the cut cabbage to juicing by hand, it is a 3 minute workout, benefiting my hands... then I place the cabbage into a glass jar, pressing it down by hand until it releases its juice a finger thick, put a weight on and it is done. The apple is a good idea, I will add it to my way. I also add a few cloves and bay leaves.I grew up with an Austrian annual tradition of making sauerkraut in a 200 liter oak barrel. We, the kids had so much fun in the stampede / taking turns in smashing the cabbage with our feet. Grandma used to gradually adding new layers of the sliced cabbage, and large heads of cabbages = for stuffed with meat and rice cabbage meals, also adding whole apples, a lot of them, and even small watermelons that did not make it to a full ripe. When it was finished, the barrel was loaded with cabbage juice, a good 10 inches. There was a heavy rock placed on an wooden platform as weight. It was a riot for us, kids to do the cabbage pow wow.

    Made my FIRST ever batch of kraut and it turned out GREAT!!! I used an old slow cooker crackpot (4qt, I think) and followed your directions (3lbs. Cabbage, 33g salt, 1/2 apple because I only wanted to make a small batch and not risk ruining a large batch). I pushed the cabbage leaves on top, then I placed an inverted saucer on top of them. Next, I placed a tall-sided bowl filled with gravel on the saucer to weigh it down. I lined the bowl with plastic wrap and enclosed the gravel. (It was a new bag of aquarium gravel that I had on hand, so it was CLEAN gravel! 😆). Then I put the crock lid on and placed a heavy can of tomatoes (29oz) on top of the lid. I let it set next to a cold floor register in my daughter's empty bedroom (it's too hot here in SC to leave it on the kitchen counter). The temperature was between 61°-72°. I left it alone for a week. When I finally opened it, there was an unmistakable smell of fresh kraut! I was so happy and proud of myself for trying this! But without your video, I would never have attempted it. You are a very reassuring teacher and I love how you encourage us to be resourceful. I put that batch in the back of the fridge for continued slow fermentation and I'm starting another batch today. I want to see what happens when I let it go for 3 weeks. Thanks for all your help to make this a wonderful success!🥰🎉👍

      be careful. you should always use glass material. if using a metal pot, the metal will interact with the acid during fermenting, and you will be slowly taking in the desolved metal chemical which is harmful. always and always use glass jars.

    I loved watching your video on how to make sauerkraut. I was raised on homemade sauerkraut. My dad's family are Germans from Germany. My Grandmother made lots of sauerkraut in crocks in the basement. She mostly canned it though. I had forgotten how to make sauerkraut and was pleased to run across your video, which inspired me to make some and give your recipe a try. I blended a red delicious apple and the cabbage core just like you did and added it to the cabbage brine. I packed down the sauerkraut in a ½ gallon mason jar. I used the Ball fermentation kit that includes a lid that allows the CO2 to escape and a spring to keep the cabbage submerged, which works great. I noticed the next day the juice at the top of the jar became brown. The sauerkraut looks ok and is not brown. Did something go wrong? Is it bad? It's only been a couple of days so I haven't opened it yet. I prefer to wait 2 weeks before tasting it, if it is good in spite of the brown juice at the top. Love your sweet personality and explanation of recipe details.

    Thank you for the lovely video Mary! Just a little kitchen hack for saving the elbows from extra work. Simply move around the shredded cabbage w/potato masher for 3-4 min. and leave it to sit, and saturate for 20 minutes. When you return, it's ready for you to place in the jar.

    I make a batch of Kimchi in a gallon wide mouth jar. I sealed out the air with a gallon plastic bag filled with water in top and then clipped it shut with a clip with no metal. The bag keeps the air out and ingredients in the fluid. It was real easy to check it and I didn’t have to worry about damaging my jar. I put a plastic tray underneath that you find pies in so it would be easy to clean up if any fluid went over the top of the jar. I did put the lid on the jar so the bugs couldn’t get into the jar. I made the next batch with cauliflower and it is all gone. The bag works so nice with water but I did not use a zip lock bag since it has a hard edge and the bag had to not leak any water. What I needed the most was how much salt since we used to use a ceramic crock with a wood disk (can swell and break the crock) and a rock to keep the content covered with fluid. We would skim the top when we opened it to check it but the soft plastic bag is so nice and you can just wash it and put it back in the jar. You don’t even have to dump the water when you take it out just pull slowly so you don’t damage the bag.
    I made my kimchi with Chinese cabbage so no pounding was needed and we never pounded regular cabbage either but i did try to make sure I didn’t have any air pockets.

    Great video, an apple + cabbage leaves on kraut so great top.
    1- prepare a slight smaller round plate.
    2- Prepare a really heavy clean stone can be used repeatedly.
    When cabbage is ready for storage put the round plate on top, then put heavy stone on top of plate, make sure the plate can go low into the cabbage container In order to press all juice out. Leave overnight cabbage will be really juicy.
    Cabbage core: peel off thickness around sprinkle prefer salt leave in fridge 3-5days comes out pickled radish crisp.
    Hope this helps.
