My husband comes from a european background, and when he was a kid, it was a tradition for his family to make a big batch of sauerkraut. To this day, we still have the cabbage shredder his grandparents used, and we will be passing it down to our children along with that tradition.
Seriously, that is the most beautiful head of cabbage I have ever seen! Story time: I am Romanian I an and my family has been making sauerkraut since the old country. Our Christmas dinner traditionally is stuffed cabbage. However, preparation of that meal starts in November when homemade sauerkraut and soured cabbage leaves are "put up" in crocks. Dill and savory is added in little cheesecloth pkgs. for flavor. By Christmas the cabbage leaves and sauerkraut is sour enough for us to use. The cabbage rolls are placed in the pot with the sauerkraut on top. This is cooked Christmas Eve for the next day. To my family, it is not Christmas eve until the aroma of stuffed cabbage fills the house! I've had this every year since I was a child. My mother taught me how to make it and I make it now since my parents have been gone. I think of them and my grandparents and ask them to guide my hands when I prepare this dish. I know they are with us when we have our Christmas dinner and I am so honored to carry on the tradition...
That sounds very good! My Mom made cabbage rolls with meat inside. I had forgot about them until you mentioned your tradition. Better than any processed frozen meals from the store!
It's very important too to get your salt to cabbage ratio correct. Too much salt and it won't ferment, not enough salt and it may spoil. Also, many people let it ferment for weeks so nine days is not a ceiling. I have found that 13 days is perfect for my taste. Thanks for the video.
You make this so simple😊. Best and very simple instructions to follow. Others talk too much, hard to follow... Idk maybe I have ADHD. Best video I found. Thank you😉👍🏼
Finally a simple sauerkraut recipe that I'm confident of making. Seen too many recipes in the past, but I'm always afraid it will turn bad instead of ferment. Don't want to get killed from eating bad sauerkraut😅
I love to cut my cherry tomatoes from my garden in half and top them with some homemade sour kraut. The sweet juicy tomatoes with the salty crunchy kraut is a match made in heaven.
Love this video! Grew up having sauerkraut, but never made it. Wonder if my great grandmother did, but do not know(both great grandparents were German, grateful for many German recipes we did have growing up). Just found homemade sauerkraut at a store that was homemade with caraway seeds, it was awesome. ❤
I made a quart and a pint the other day and I used salt water in a zip lock baggie to bridge the gap and hold down the sauerkraut and it’s working ! Thanks a lot.
Thank you for a wonderful, easy recipe. I have been working on decreasing added ingredients. It gets no more simple than this video. Well done! Also, I tried the peach butter recipe (without sugar) and it worked wonderfully. Thanks for that video also😊
I was just enjoying a hot dog with Sauerkraut while seeing the notification for your video 😊 Unfortunately it was the jarred kind and not homemade, but the next batch may be just that, thanks to your easy to follow instructions and even better, for a small batch. Tip for the Lid. I bought the Ball Fermentation Kit, that comes with Lids that allow Ferments to "breath," while keeping bugs etc. out. Been using these for my Milk Kefir and Sourdough Starter for years and love them.
I was trying to eat this for months, but I was lazy to go to much process making it. And boom found you with this easy recipe. I have to tell, meanwhile you were talking I was preparing it. I DID IT! Thanks Wise young Wyse❤ Note: I’ll tell you in 7 days how it goes.
I add shredded carrots and thin sliced onion and use 1/2 gallon jars using airlocks. A Russian lady gave me the recipe. We rode the train together and met there.
Thank You for this. My German Grandma would make this. Yum. I have a preservative story. I thought I was getting dementia. I did some research and found that coffee has the most chemicals because where it is grown there are less restrictions. I've been drinking 2 C for breakfast for 30 years. So 6 mo ago I switched to organic. My Hair and Eyebrows are coming in. My fingernails are super strong. I'm just healthier. :) Also....One time I managed a Bistro in a college town and Miss Claussen worked for me. :)
Thank you Kaleb this video was exactly ar the right time. My son needs to start eating more sauerkraut. And you answered the one question I had. I was wondering if I could add carrots. You made my day.
Thank you for the recipe I'm sure you know sauerkraut is good for you. I like it. Its one of the ways I like hot dogs, sauerkraut and grilled. I heard you said about being good for you. I'm diabetic and they say eat 1 spoonful a day. It's cheaper making it or buying it then taking supplements
I LOVE kraut! Germanic heritage. I LOVE KRAUT. Do you honestly think that quart will last over the winter? Besides, fermented veggies are absolutely GREAT for the microbiome for the gut. Kraut is one of my favorite foods. My history is Bavarian. Don't eat out of the jar? Are you kidding? However, each time I do eat out of the jar, I use a clean spoon. "don't eat out of the jar" pthffff ( I don't know how to make the raspberry sound in words).
Thanks Kaleb! I think I will try again. My first attempt last year didn’t work (I think I used too much salt). But try and try again as they say. Will be definitely giving your recipe a try. Maybe I’ll have better luck this time.
Great shear. I love fermented food. What's the max time you can leave it fermenting ? and how much does the room temp affects ? Is there a to hot of a room temp that cant make it go bad IE make you sick ?
Hey, I hope you get back to me. I am thinking that if you had one of those springs that attached to the With a vent on the top, but you could also use part from an innertube and cut it just right to fit in there, so I can push it down or will that make it taste or smell like Rubber?? I would think so.
You can get Fermentation Airlocks on line. Brewing supply businesses have fermentation Airlocks for anything fermentable. Can also put in the lid a threaded 1/4" Plastic/Nylon Bulkhead Hose Barb Fittings(Brass fittings have lead in them) & then run PVC hose from it to a jar for the overflowing Brine Liquid to flow in to. Strain & keep the overflow Brine so the Jar with the Cabbage can be topped up if the liquid goes to low. Straight tap water should not be added to the Fermenting Cabbage.
Thank you for sharing, so easy looking. You never mentioned exactly how much salt per quart jar. It looks like you could be using with three 1/2 tsp or 3 tsp measurement. I kept going back and speed reading in the area of adding salt, never saw the exact measurement.
My Nana cooked hers on her space heater in her kitchen for hours while she rotated a pork roast. It had kraut in the bottom of the pan, she would scrape up bits of pork and toss in the big pot. Also caraway seeds. I used to steal finger fulls all day.

Thank you for your simple recipe, but just wanted to know if I can wash the cabbage first
From South Africa 😊
I never print the recipe, I just screenshot it.
Oooouuu! Tvoje prsi

Absolutely!
Cabbage envy!! And it was home grown to boot!
I still have my great grandmas wooden kraut board. So very special to have these pieces from our family.
If one is following any kind of Ayurveda habits this recipe is worth gold! Thank you for making this so accessible.

But oh, what a way to go!
Snacznego ❤
Sometimes it can form a dusty yeast residue on the top but you can simply scoop it off it's not toxic
You have the MOST interesting shows. Thanks for a great one...who knew it was so easy.
Who knew sauerkraut was so easy to make?! I'm gonna give this recipe a whirl-thank you Kaleb:)
Kaleb thanks so much for sharing a big part of yourself with us! I have tried so many of your recipes and instructions and they are great ❤

How much salt ratio to cabbage
This is awesome!! I am the only person in the family that eats sauerkraut. This will be great for just me!
Thanks Kaleb!
We have 4 yummy jars of saurkraut in the fridge. I love making it. Thanks
I used to make this when my kids were young and I used this exact method! I’m so excited to make some now.
I made a quart and a pint the other day and I used salt water in a zip lock baggie to bridge the gap and hold down the sauerkraut and it’s working ! Thanks a lot.
You are my go-to when I am need of a great recipe. Thank you Kaleb
I bet that, that Kraut cutter would work on zucchini and carrots as well.
I prefer to cut with a knife and have some thicker crunchier mixed in.
fantastic tip with the leaf!
Thank you for a wonderful, easy recipe. I have been working on decreasing added ingredients. It gets no more simple than this video. Well done!
Also, I tried the peach butter recipe (without sugar) and it worked wonderfully. Thanks for that video also😊
I loved the way you made it look easy.
OMG I'll be doing this this weekend! It will be great with my pork butt that I'm slow cooking. Thanks for sharing!
Great video - I had no idea how easy this could be. Love your channel

Wyse this video was so helpful, just what I needed to make my own thank you!
Thank you so much.🧡 You by far have the easiest and best instructions. I just made 2 quarts tonight. Excited for the results!
I grew cabbage a few years ago, each one weighed over 20 pounds. Very dense and delicious.
I add shredded carrots and thin sliced onion and use 1/2 gallon jars using airlocks. A Russian lady gave me the recipe. We rode the train together and met there.
A great presentation thanks. I used to make lots of it when I was younger. I am going to make some again thanks for your video.
Great simple explanation !!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This was a great demonstration, thanks!
I just made a jar, I can’t wait to see how it turned out, thank you very much ❤️🇨🇦

Of course! So happy I can help 😊

Thanks for making it easy and simple
I can't believe how easy it is. I'm starting now for Labor Day W/E. Love your videos : )
How did it turn out?
I LOVE kraut! Germanic heritage. I LOVE KRAUT. Do you honestly think that quart will last over the winter? Besides, fermented veggies are absolutely GREAT for the microbiome for the gut. Kraut is one of my favorite foods. My history is Bavarian.
Don't eat out of the jar? Are you kidding? However, each time I do eat out of the jar, I use a clean spoon. "don't eat out of the jar" pthffff ( I don't know how to make the raspberry sound in words).
If I don’t have a kitchen scale… how much salt do I use?
Try using a round wedge of apple about 3/4 of an inch thick to hold the cabbage under the liquid. Adds a nice flavor and keeps any mold from forming.
My sister grew her own cabbage and made it out of her purse cabbages. It was so good.
Is the process the same for Red Cabbage please?
Loved your recipes. Quick and easy to follow. You can add a bit of garlic, ginger, or turmeric for more gut friendly . 😁😁🥰🥰.
Awesome video, totally new way of making cabbage and looks easy, thx for sharing🎉
Thank you for sharing,GOD Bless You
Thanks Kaleb! I think I will try again. My first attempt last year didn’t work (I think I used too much salt). But try and try again as they say. Will be definitely giving your recipe a try. Maybe I’ll have better luck this time.

Great recipe, doing this tomorrow …thank you 👏👏👏
Would love to try this. I love sauerkraut
Thank you
This is really great. Thanks Kaled.
Half a year ago I made my first sauerkraut from white and red cabbage, since then I am absolutely obssessed with them
Hey, I hope you get back to me.

Thank you for this!
This is awesome!! Thank you so much!!
Please please produce the kraut cutter. I need one just like that in my life. I love lacto fermented foods and making them.
