Fermented Sauerkraut

​

  • 1 medium cabbage, cored and shredded

  • 1 TB caraway seeds

  • 1 TB sea salt

  • 4 TB whey (if not available, use an additional TB of sea salt)

​

In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Using your hands, rub the cabbage together or use a pounder to mash the cabbage to release the juices (about 10 mins). Place in wide mouth quart jars and push cabbage down so it is covered in its juices. Make sure the cabbage is covered in the juices! Leave a 1 inch space at the top of the jar. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 3 days. Put in the refrigerator.

The sauerkraut may be eaten immediately, but improves with age. Some people say that it tastes its best after 6 months of  cold storage!
