How does he make it? I have been wanting to do so, but it’s much to easy to just keep buying it in the store. FWIW, I have a bunch of the Libby’s jars sitting in a cabinet, ready to continue duty as sauerkraut containers.

Uh, no thanks, lol! I don’t eat as much hot stuff anymore, but I do love it. What cracks me up is those fools on YouTube-“I will now eat a whole Ghost Chili Pepper”! 20 seconds later they’re crying their eyes out…..

I love sauerkraut, but I can’t even think about it when my stomach is off. My wife finds it a great cure for a bad stomach. Guess I’m an outlier. Again.

I believe kefir is fermented, too. I tried some today for the first time. I was worried it would taste bad, but it was delicious!

He just chops the cabbage finely and then kneads it for a bout five minutes. That brings out the moisture. He then adds salt, a cover leaf of cabbage, and a weight to a jar. It ferments for about 4 weeks. Something like this.

Thanks, seems simple enough. I will make a few jars and find out the best fermentation time for my taste. 2nd batch will be adding things like dill or carroway seeds, sweet onions, peppers, etc. This is going to be fun and healthy.
