From garden to crock

I harvested a cabbage on July 20. Pretty early! This is from a seedling bought from Chuck, variety “Farao.”

Two pounds, 3 ounces
Cut for shredding

We shred cabbage in the food processor using the 2mm blade. Then weigh in grams, calculating salt as 2 percent of that weight.

Massage in salt, let sit, then load into crock for fermenting. This cabbage will make one quart jar of kraut.
