Step-by-step recipes for sauerkraut for the winter

After moving abroad, sauerkraut became a real treasure for me. None of the people around me understood what I was talking about, and in the stores I managed to find only a product that vaguely resembled our preparation - German cabbage marinated with white wine. Despite some similarity of the blanks, the overseas version could not replace my own taste. Therefore, I had to revise my schedule and set aside a little time to cook such cabbage with my own hands.

Sauerkraut for the winter with honey

A simple recipe that does not require special culinary knowledge and time consuming.

Ingredients:

• 1 forks of white cabbage;
• 2-3 carrots;
• 2 tbsp. l. salt;
• 2 tbsp. l. honey;
• water.

Preparation:

1. Cut the cabbage into several pieces. Peel the carrots.

   

   Cut the cabbage into pieces that are comfortable to hold while cutting the vegetable

2. Chop the cabbage into thin strips.
3. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

4. Mix vegetables.

   

   Vegetables can be mixed directly on the table or in a large container

5. Tamp vegetables tightly into a glass container.

   

   Any size glass jars can be used for salting cabbage.

6. Pierce the vegetables with the back of a wooden spoon to the very bottom.

   

   Use the back of a wooden spoon or a clean wooden stick to create a hole in the cabbage

7. Pour salt into the hole.

   

   Pour salt gently directly into the hole

8. Pour in natural honey. If the honey is frozen, pre-melt it until it is liquid.

   

   To prepare a blank, honey is needed in a liquid state
9. Bring 1–1.5 liters of water to a boil, cool for 10 minutes. The water temperature for filling should be no more than 90 degrees.

10. Pour hot water into a jar of vegetable mass, filling it up to the neck.

    

    The water should reach the shoulders of the jar and completely cover the vegetables

11. Close the jar with a nylon lid, place on a plate and leave at a temperature of at least 20 degrees for 24 hours.
12. After a day, open the can and make several punctures in the cabbage. As a result of such actions, gases formed during the fermentation process will escape from the workpiece, and the brine will sink into the lower part of the container.
13. Close the jar and leave for 2-3 days.

14. Place the finished cabbage in the refrigerator or cellar for storage.

    

    Store honey cabbage no higher than 10 degrees
