Sauerkraut in a Jar

by Editorial Staff

The cabbage prepared according to this recipe turns out to be crispy, juicy, and sweet and sour in taste. We need 3 days to prepare sauerkraut.

Ingredients

For a can with a volume of 3 liters:

  • White cabbage – 3 kg
  • Carrots – 2 pcs.
  • Water – 1.5 liters.
  • Salt – 2 tbsp
  • Sugar – 2 tbsp
  • Bay leaf – 2 pcs.
  • Allspice peas – 4 pcs.

Directions

  1. Before preparing the sauerkraut in a jar, we prepare the necessary ingredients. You need to choose autumn cabbage varieties. It should be flattened, white, juicy, sweetish in taste, with fleshy leaves. We wash and sterilize three-liter jars.
  2. We chop or shred cabbage in any convenient way, you can use a special knife for shredding cabbage.
  3. My carrots, rub on a coarse grater.
  4. We mix cabbage with carrots but don’t wrinkle.
  5. Put bay leaf and peppercorns on the bottom of a clean sterile jar. We put the cabbage. There is no need to tamp – the cabbage should lie down freely to the shoulders of the jar.
  6. Then we dilute the salt in cold boiled water. Fill jars of cabbage with brine so that the water is 4-6 cm higher than the cabbage level.
  7. We cover the jars with gauze and put them in an enamel plate or bowl, as the juice can “run away” from the jar as it gets sour.
  8. We leave the jars of cabbage in the kitchen for three days. After a day, you need to pierce the cabbage with a wooden stick several times to the bottom in order to release the gas formed as a result of fermentation. This should be done every day, and the released juice is poured back into the jar. By the end of fermentation, the brine becomes light.
  9. On day 4, drain the brine from the jar, dissolve the sugar in it and pour it back into the cabbage.
  10. After 2 hours, close the jar with a plastic lid and put it in a cool place, preferably in the refrigerator. You need to make sure that the cabbage is in the brine all the time.
  11. Sauerkraut in a jar is ready.

Bon Appetit!
