Making Sauerkraut
We make Sauerkraut every year to go with the hot dogsthat we serve at our annual Poinsettia Show.
( Here is a past post on 'Making Sauerkraut' and
Here is a post about the Poinsettia Shows' )First we harvest cabbage from the garden
Clean the cabbage and quarter it.
Shred it,we use a meat slicer for this quanity
Add salt and stomp it into the crocks and buckets.
Then we let it sit and rot until the Poinsettia show.
Here is a natural shape in the cabbage that I found

You have swan cabbage!
Sit and rot? I had no idea! I thought it was a vinegar that made it so sour, like in pickles. I like sauerkraut, but only when it's been rinsed of the sour brine and then a bit of sweetener added before it's cooked with the meat. Nom NOM!

Cool duck or maybe swan. I love sauerkraut! My husband hates it and the smell. I have never made my own. What a smart idea to use a meat slicer! Your use of the word rot made me chuckle...maybe that's what my husband's main thought is too!
very cute.
You know what's really weird is that I've never actually tried it...I can't get pass the smell!! Looks like fun though....
The only way I like saurkraut is with sour cream and pork...never cared for it until I found this recipe...but I think it's cool seeing it made. Do you all just use it for your own use? That looks like a lot of kraut!
@dingdongdingbat - I want that recipe Ma....if you would please?
We serve 6000 people hotdogs at the Poinsettia Show,the Kraut goes fast!
I remember my mom making kraut when I was just a little tot, and packing it into the big crocks. I loved it then and I still do. But we didn't have ducky cabbage like you do. Does it taste any different?
@IMChurchmouse - @babiesone1963 - @dingdongdingbat - You should check out my recipe for Old-World Soup, it'll make a kraut lover out of you! LINK
Nothing better than rotted cabbage at a poinsettia show.
Wait....Sauerkraut is made from Cabbage?
Wait'll the Coleslaw people hear about this!!
hmmm...i used to like sauerkraut until you told me how it is made. thanks alot!
lol jk
oooh! I love the swan you found in the cabbage!
@seedsower - I emailed the recipe to you...let me know if you get it..
What is the date of the show this year?
Nice duck!
@dingdongdingbat - Fri Dec4, Sat Dec5 and Mon Dec7
Wow, that's alot of hot dogs and kraut!!
Thanks on both counts
as much as I hate Sauerkraut I love that you all make it home-made for your show! You're an amazing lady! Please tell Mildred I said hello, I'm sorry I've been so absent lately. I'm loving the fall photos and look everyday at them when I can! It always brightens my day!
We love sauerkraut in this house.
ewwwww sauerkraut! yucky! If I have to eat cabbage it must be in cole slaw! I like the name better. hahaha
someone had a recipe for cabbage or kraut in their chili!
is that a musical note?
yummy!
now i am picturing you scanning every piece of cabbage looking for interesting shapes...haha, now that would be one way to spend an afternoon! haha,
What do you see in the natural shape cabbage?
Musical note? Legless ostrich?
Ladle?
Those are some of the things I see in it.
@AcidSam - Sam,you would be great for those inkblots! I thought of a white swan.
How many cabbages does it take to make sauerkraut for 6,000 people? That's got to be a lot of kraut!
YUMM, I want some. Sounds delicious. Someday will visit the Poinsettia show
Thanks for sharing you're family secrets to us. hehe
I remember making sauerkraut with the youth group at your house... fun times! I miss you and Berks County and I will be sorry to miss the Poinsettia show this year. But absence makes the heart grow fonder (it's true), so 2010 will be all the better!
Not a fan, but making it looks like fun! My Dad was Pennsylvania Dutch, and we always had sauerkraut. I remember coming in the door from school and being able to smell that it was being made. Whew!
Oh Beth that looked like so much fun with everyone helping that is awesome ....my mouth is watering just thinking of how tasty that would be on a hot dog.....Hugs Marty
When Can I Stop by to pick some up?
Sail on.. .sail on!!!
Mmmm, sauerkraut. I just made myself a Reuben sandwich yesterday! Now this post made me crave it again today.
always interesting stuff going on where ever you seem to be...
Kraut and the Korean Kim chi. I love them both!
Love you, Beth!
That is so cool! I had no idea how cabbage was made before reading this!!
That is a LOT of kraut! Are the cabbages yours or did you have to buy them?
Visiting your home would be like going to camp. I would pay to do it.
So you just let it rot? WOW! I had no idea how it was made. I know my parents ate it growing up, but Mama didn't fix it for us. I guess she didn't miss it, and I didn't ever think to ask.
Oh my god, there's so much worthwhile information here! check web web. Well, I do not really imagine this is likely to work. 1 5 5. Oh my god, there's so much worthwhile information here! LINK 3 link. Thank you for this post, really effective piece of writing.
