it was time to harvest the cabbage patch today, so I decided to make my first batch of home made sauerkraut, my first head of cabbage weighed 10 3/4 lbs the biggest of the patch, anyway I shredded the cabbage by hand with a knife, sprinkled 3 tbl sp of kosher salt per 5 lbs of shredded cabbage, and then packed it down tight in the crock, it appears to be doing exactly what the recipe say,s it will do so we will see how it turns out, I put up a total of 4 heads of cabbage with a total weight of 34 lbs  shredded

so today was 6 wks in the crock, time to can, we got 8 qts and 12 pints, total of 4 non sealed jars that we are gonna have to eat  now oh darn :chuckle:, gonna be honest when I was putting it in the jars it was pretty pungent and I wasn't sure how it was gonna taste, but after processing it, WOW it is way better than I thought it was gonna turn out, I did 2 jars one QT and 1 PNT spicy useing ground red pepper they are 2 of the 4 jars that didnt seal due to the ground red pepper getting under the lid while processing,
