Sauerkraut Recipe

1 kg green cabbage, shredded, washed and well-drained

30 g dessert salt

5 g black peppercorns

Massage the salt into the cabbage and season with the pepper. Place the cabbage into a glass jar and press down to allow space for expansion. Place a plastic bag on top of the cabbage followed with a weight to weigh it down. Place a lid on top and put in a warm dark place for four days to ferment. If controlled, you can allow the cabbage to go for longer or refrigerate to slow the prosses down.

To stop the fermentation process, cook the cabbage in apple cider or white wine and butter. Then cool and reserve in a jar for future use.
