Directions For Making
And Packing Sauerkraut

Remove the outer green leaves of the
cabbage, quarter the heads and slice
Off the core from each quarter, then
with sharp knife cut into thin slices
Use four or i've gallon crooks for the
containers. Pack the shredded cabbage
Immediately, using a pound of salt to
forty pounds Of cabbage. Sprinkle Il
little over each layer as packed. When
the crock is full press down as firm as
possible. Cover with cloth and a
round clean board.
The salt soon drains the juice from
the cabbage, and a weight should be
placed on the board to cause the juice
or brine to rise above the cover. Some
people add a quart of vinegar to twen-
ty-tiye pounds OF cabbage as presery-
alive. Tie cloth over the jar and set
aside.
In cool weather or If placed in the
cellar it will be ready for the table in
from two to five weeks, varying with
the Temperature. II kept IN q warm
place fermentation may be completed
in from ten days to two weeks. As
soon as gas bubbles cease to rise re-
move the cloth and board. Wash
board, return to Jar and tie up closely.

makes it almost impossible for her
