Awesome 🤩 fermented foods 🙌 

How do you make the sauerkraut please 

Looks fab 😁 

Looks amazing 😋 

Sauerkraut is really simple. I finely shred a white cabbage, weigh it, then add 2-3% of the weight of cabbage of table salt. Massage it into the cabbage in a big bowl then place a plate on top and weigh it down with something heavy for a few hours at room temp. Occasionally massage it to make sure the salt is evenly distributed. After a few hours when the water starts to pool in the bottom of the bowl, I stuff it tightly into a very clean, large jar then top it up with a bit of salt water. The cabbage must be under the surface of the water at all times. I then place it on a work surface in the kitchen for a few days at room temp lid open but covered. Bubbles with start to form and you need to keep pressing it down. After a few days it's ready to go in the fridge. You can do this to lots of veg and some fruit. 😋
