  • 1 medium Green cabbage shredded
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and salt.
  2. 2. Massage the cabbage with your hands for about 10 minutes until it releases its juices.
  3. 3. Pack the cabbage tightly into canning jars, pressing down with a wooden spoon to ensure it's submerged in its own liquid.
  4. 4. Cover the jars with a cloth and let ferment at room temperature for 1-4 weeks, checking daily to ensure the cabbage remains submerged.
  5. 5. Once the sauerkraut reaches your desired level of tanginess, seal the jars with lids and store in the refrigerator.
