It's a rainy day today so perfect for finally starting the sauerkraut. This is seven pounds of cabbage shredded and packed into a large glass crock I got at WalMart a few years ago. They still sell them if anyone needs one.
There's a lid that comes with it but it doesn't fit very well. A cheap crock from China but it does what I need it to do. Cheesecloth and a rubber band will let it breathe. This will probably make seven pints. We like kraut in pints as it's just enough for one meal.
