Sauerkraut in the Making

The bowl was my great grandmother’s. I love when I have a recipe that needs me to pull it out of its special spot.

I love to read articles from Nourished Kitchen. If you haven’t checked out her site, you really should! Recently I reread her basic tips for eating and decided that adding fermented foods was my new endeavor seeing how we were doing most of the other things she had listed already.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Then I stalled out and didn’t start my sauerkraut days ago as planned. Do you ever get nervous about trying something completely new? 🙇🏼‍♀️✋🏼 Today, I bit the bullet and got started. The kids helped and we had a great time and only a couple of calls to my dad for advice. 😅

Here’s the link to the recipe I followed: https://nourishedkitchen.com/homemade-sauerkraut/. The only difference was that I added about a 1/2 cup of brine (salted water) to each half gallon jar to be sure there was enough moisture—not sure it was necessary but my dad insisted, so I did it.

I’ll touch base and let you know how our sauerkraut tastes!
