I love the stuff, whether it's fermented into sauerkraut or not. I make UNstuffed cabbage rolls, meaning I use all the same ingredients as what I used to use to make cabbage rolls (a zealous exercise in cooking!) and they are so much easier to make, by far. Tastes just as great, too.
I also love sauerkraut on a hotdog, which I don't eat too many hotdogs *don't ask what's in them! ANd I love fried pork chops followed up with fried sauerkraut in the leftover brownings of the pork chops. YUM! An old German recipe.
Here's a great vid showing how truly easy this stuff is to make. You can search online for the glass weights and the "burpy tip" blue top. Personally I used a really large heavy piece of rock salt I have on hand and put it into a plastic bag to use for the weight and I just use one of the white plastic jar lids, left loosely attached. About once a day I hold my jar over the sink and shake it or turn it up side down over and over to sort of mix the juices (brine) back into the bulk cabbage. I do it that way because that's the way my Mama and my gramma did it !! Traditional cooking is everything, donchaknow?
The vid is about 7 minutes long and well worth watching.
