Mosso http://thelocalharvestdish.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/making-sauerkraut/#comment-166 G. Mosso Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:39:49 +0000 http://thelocalharvestdish.wordpress.com/?p=701#comment-166 I've been making kraut for 50 years. I started out helping my dad, using a 100 qt. crock. For the last 15 years I've made it in the jar.I've never used sugar, but will try it, yes sugar feeds the fermintation. I tighten the lids and then back off a little, using the cookie sheet and add brine water as needed to keep kraut wet. after setting for 6-8 weeks, I put mine in the shop or garage, in a semi-dark place, after the 6-8 weeks I clean the jar rims, add brine if needed, dispose of the lids, put clean lids on, tighten the lids, not to tight, hot water bath for 20-30 minutes. I usually make enough for 2 years. While living in alaska we used moose-raindeer sausage, adding potatoes the last 1/2 hour or so. Love it and it's good for you. I've had people who say they hate it, they have been eating store bought, they usually ask for a jar to take home. I’ve been making kraut for 50 years.

I use an antique grater which has 3 blades and a slide. I took it apart and sharpened it yesterday. I put the shredded cabbage in an 8 gallon crock(I have 3 of those), and I leave it for 7 to 8 weeks. Then I put the stuff in jars and water bath them for 15 minutes. The results are wonderful. I have sent some to a Georgia Cousin in storage bags doubled and tripled for mailing. I enjoy doing things like this. I like your website, and may start one of my own some day. B.

I can't think of the last meal that I was truly, really paying attention to my food. I'm either reading, talking, or just shoveling food in without really stopping to savor it. But if you do stop, you can enjoy the simple perfection of something such as a deluxe grilled cheese sandwich. Thank you for the reminder to slow down. Slow food doesn't just refer to the process of obtaining and cooking the food, but to savoring and enjoying eating it as well. You know, I read this post and I had to chastise myself for a minute.

An all organic food shop using local farmer's goods? And beer? Real hormone free cold cuts? Thanks for all the delicious food and the smiling staff behind the counter to keep me in good health.
