[Sca-cooks] sauerkraut...was...unusual Thanksgiving

[Etain1263 at aol.com]

I still feel the childhood canned sauerkraut pain!
 
 
One of the first things I learned about sauerkraut.....ALWAYS buy it in a  
bag!   Then again, I live in Pennsylvania and there is Amish kraut  available 
"fresh"...in plastic bags all year round!   But, in recent  years, a buddy and I 
have just gotten cabbages ($1.25 for a HUGE head at market)  and made our 
own.  Last year we had three of us cutting, shredding  (kitchenaid shredder over 
a big bowl), mixing in the salt, and packing into a  medium size crock.   All 
told, there was about 5 gallons made.  I  still have some in my freezer!  
  Tomorrow we acquire cabbages for this year's batch!
