Sauerkraut for Canning
I've been using this recipe for years and it always turns out great - except last year when I left it way too long and it got mushy :( I use kosher salt instead of canning salt, so have to use 4 Tbsp to get the right weight. I make the kraut in 5 lb. batches and mix it well in a large container as the salt needs to be evenly dispersed before packing in the buckets. I use a 5 gallon white food safe bucket (which holds up to 25 pounds of cabbage). I scrub it well, pre-rinse with a bleach/water solution and then rinse well with water. I weigh the kraut down with a glass pie plate and gallon jar with water in it. For more tart kraut, you can also add a cup apple cider vinegar.
