Years ago the Family made Kraut and canned it. It was much better than most that could be purchased. It was a vinegar method that was very easy to make. Unfortunately, the recipe was lost over time and none of the recipes I've read online sound right. Moral of the story - Spread the good recipes around so maybe the shared recipe can return if your copy is lost.
My granny used vinegar would bring to boil add Salton top of kraut in jar pour vinegar into JAR TILL CABBAGE covered put on lid set in dark area for fermenting
Thank you for the reminder that 'perfect food comes from imperfect plants' . I'm dealing with someone who never had the chance to learn about growing food or even cooking it! The education about getting rid of the bad parts and working with the good is a lesson my friend needs to learn.
I know what you mean. My first garden. I definitely didn’t want to touch anything… it was so beautiful. I was so proud of myself… I just wanted everyone to see it. But I did enjoy eating everything. 😂I love your videos. I’m so proud of you and your family union. Pammie from Chicago Illinois 😊
1 year my youngest got to take a portion of garden in exchange for him helping me in garden. We got 3 cuttings off cabbage. The 1st the heads were bigger than basketballs. 2nd were still nice size, 3rd heads were definitely smaller, but still tasty (son sold the 1st 2 cuttings). That year he also sold 3/4 the pear jelly (we added lace to the rings & ppl bought it up like crazy). Profits he bought candy bars & sold for big profit at school. An entrepreneur at 12
I used insect netting on the brassicas this year for the first time. I can't believe I didn't try is sooner. The cabbages were almost bug free . So much less work cleaning them up. The netting was a great investment . I just moved it over to the blueberries to keep the birds from eating half of them and it seems it will last me for years . Might be something for you guys to consider. And hey I have the same shirt. lol. People comment on it quite often.
Yay!!! Great clip!! You inspired me to go and do my first fermentation!I even have my grandmother's cabbage slicer! It took us forever to figure out what it is for. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a crock lid. It must have broken after all thses years!! Keep on doing what you're doing and teaching those sweet babies and us too the things being forgotten! Thank you!!
Try some cabbage fried in bacon grease with black pepper and salt (onion would go good in it too). Cut the cabbage into quarters, then cut the quarters into one inch strips, cut the strips into one inch squares. Break it up so the pieces don't stick together, fry on a low heat until it all wilts down and gets soft. I like a bit of crushed red pepper and some crispy bacon broken into one inch pieces added towards the end of cooking. Hope you like this.
That's one humongous urn of cabbage/sauerkraut !!!!! What a beautiful harvest of cabbages, that are bearing the evidence of def being organically grown !!!! You'll never get that many grubs slugs & worms enjoying your produce when it's treated with pesticides !!!!! A simple hose off or water bath will usually draw them all out and they can then become added nutrition to your fowl. Nothing needs to be wasted. Akso when you don't add poisonous pesticides the outer leaves that the grubs have feasted on can go as added food source to your other farm animals eg. goats, pigs, cattle, ducks, turkeys etc. What a great video covering a wide range of sustainable gardening. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞✌️👍👏🇺🇲
Thank you for showing this i love cabbage i usually fry it with smoked sausage, noodles, and corn bread but i love sourerkrout with a little brown sugar for the tartness lol and Lacie love your hair that way i was praying 🙏 for you to get better God Bless you and your Beautiful Family ❤
With me it is different; I can have raw cabbage, but in past time I couldn't had Sauerkraut. But that was Sauerkraut out of the shop(factory) Now my husband makes homemade Sauerkraut in the Sauerkrautpot, and I can eat that without any problems. Well not two days in a line, but it is great. He also fermenting with sweet pepers and union in a jar. And that eating a littlebit by a meal is great. And I just do not have any problems. Hurray for homemade!! And with this Sauerkraut pot you using. We let it stand for 3 months. G'D BLESS and greetings from Inge Noordam (the Netherlands/Europe)
Thanks. That crock looks like a nice way to make kraut. I've done it in jars. Nothing better than eating your own grown and preserved food. God bless you and your beautiful family.
You've inspired me to get a fermenting jar 👌. The chickens also LOVE cabbage. I hang a whole cabbage up under the trees for my hens and they spend days pecking at it.
Thank you Mike & Lacy, ive learned a lot, i never knew how to make sour kraut, i will try it Lacy's way, i enjoy all of yalls videos, stay safe,and God Bless, Hollern atya from West Tennessee
Sourkrout! I make as much I can eat . I heat two tables spons every night ! I so swear it it works wonders! I use the red cabbage for more vitamins. You don't need a brind . So massage it enough to release enough juice . I ferment mine for one to two weeks! It's great stuff! If I miss one day without eating it ? I feel the difference the next day .
i love cabbage any way its made also when im chopping it up i love to eat the core raw i love the crunch and flavour of it lol most people just chuck it out in the garbage have a great harvest and enjoy hugsssss
I had never had homemade sauerkraut until this year. We did not plant cabbages in our garden (for reasons you mentioned) but also because even though I have a great portion of my heritage from Ireland and Scotland, there is only so much corned beef and cabbage one family can eat. LOL So we bought some cabbage (green and red) and made our own 'kraut - we added some jalapenos to ours with the garlic. And my goodness! We are planting some cabbage in our Fall garden and Spring garden to see which way works best for us because EVERYONE enjoyed the 'fermented cabbage! Bonus: now that we have chickens, any little critters and extra leaves will not go to waste or live to make more pests for our garden. Thank you for sharing this with us! Looks like little Hezekiah might be teething - but what a smile when he's happy!
Love this... I've got my first cabbage this year. Crazy I put it in last fall as my first fall homsted garden. I expected to harvest before winter hit but it was a early and had winter.. they got buried in 6 ft+ of snow... along with Brussel sprouts and broccoli... they all three survived!!!! And loads of lettuce and kale! Hoping my cabbage survive the bugs trying to eat it over the last week! 🙌🏼
I’m growing/harvesting cabbage for the first time. Love Sour kraut. I invested in the Ball fermentation kit and WM jars. Watching Another TH-cam U video. Thank You Lacey and Mike.😊🙏
I add 1 tablespoon of Redmond salt to a large head of cabbage, let it sit for about 30 minutes then begin to crush and pound until I have a nice brine and shove it into a quart jar. thnx for sharing. I want to grow my own cabbage this fall. I really like sauerkraut and like to keep it on hand. But I'm the only one that eats it.
There are many sermons I was just thinking about just with the cabbage. It may look bad on the outside but peel the layers and you can find the good on the inside. Selah
My grandpa always pulled a big leaf and layed it over the top after he cut it to keep the sun off so I do it too. I don't get big heads but it is good eating.
Wow, I love your big jar for fermenting cabbage... like those chinese jars! We are also for the fermented cabbage, the raw we don't digest well.... That baby is soooo cute!
I love all leafy greens but they wreck havoc on my digestive system. I love sauerkraut but never thought to make it myself because I don't have mason jars or anything large enough to make it in. Time to head online to look for that crock Lacie has which is just beautiful.
That is hilarious I was just thinking about you and your wife last night. Wondering where y'all are at not seeing you on TH-cam. There you were this morning showing how to ferment cabbage.
I grew cabbage broccoli and cauliflower for the first time had a great crop.. I cooked my broccoli and cabbage leaves and it taste like collards. thanks for your videos.. you remind me so much of my Brother in law. smart but so much fun.
are you all going to plan an outdoor prep area for your food? seems with everything you harvest and process, you all would benefit from one. love watching you all and learning from you all
My grandparents have huge crocks that when they don't use them to make kraut they have glass table circles that they use to make them into side tables in the living room. They don't make kraut like they did when they had 5 kids growing up at home but they do it every now and then. I hope to inherit them someday.
We really have made things harder. Many of our ancestors did this without much in the way of education. My great grandmother could hardly read and gardened and preserved and cooked better than anyone. We make it too hard!

That cabbage crunch is so satisfying to hear 🙂

canning fermented food kills the good bacteria. May taste good but no fermented benefit
My granny used vinegar would bring to boil add Salton top of kraut in jar pour vinegar into JAR TILL CABBAGE covered put on lid set in dark area for fermenting

I heard somebody say that if you make a t cut cross on the stem you cut the cabbage from, more cabbages will begin to grow off of that stem.

Ki is looking like a combination between Lacey and Micah right now. You can tell that Ki is a happy and healthy baby.
Hello all, I have a question. When are you going to be putting up the other Yurt?
Micah is a big boy now. It wasn't to long ago he was playing in the dirt with his dump truck
Sarah love your hair cut! Sweet Hezzy is getting so big! Love cabbage with butter! ❤

I love fermenting my cabbage, nice harvest.
Boiled dinner and cabbage steaks are great too 🙂
Nothing is more satisfying than a good crop
My absolute favorite meal is fried cabbage with bacon and onion. Some cornbread and soup beans on top of the corn bread. Yummy!
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you all guys.

Mike maybe try wrapping ur cabbage with big bug screens or netting letting photosynthesis take place while protecting your crops.
Last year we had 4 firm smaller heads grow after we harvested the large head. Love your videos.
I ferment my cabbage and veggies in jars with the brine method and love it. Just a couple table spoons with meals is so good and does the trick.
Great Asmr video love the sounds of the cabbage!
Thank you for sharing your experience with preservation of food for it's what we need nowadays. Be blessed.
Cabbage fermented sounds delicious!
As a youngster we fermented cabbage and it was fun squishing the cabbage because it squeaks.
When I go on my cabbage kick I pickle and make a large batch of cabbage rolls
Just realized you did a live. I'll check it out after watching this
Now I am wanting to make Sauerkraut. Thanks for the tips.😊❤
Just wondering when you going put that other yurt up? Can't wait see it all put together?! I'm sure you all could use extra space!❤
Working on it!
Thank you for sharing this video! I love cabbage and kraut! Great video! I love y'all!
Thanks. That crock looks like a nice way to make kraut. I've done it in jars. Nothing better than eating your own grown and preserved food. God bless you and your beautiful family.
Cabbage,Cabbage everywhere so good eating with much care,love them😊😅💜
You've inspired me to get a fermenting jar 👌. The chickens also LOVE cabbage. I hang a whole cabbage up under the trees for my hens and they spend days pecking at it.

Nice Cabbage Mike, let’s see if the cabbage regrows😊
That’s amazing Mike, I mean the regrown from the first ones.😊
Bugs for the chickens 😊
Sourkrout! I make as much I can eat . I heat two tables spons every night ! I so swear it it works wonders! I use the red cabbage for more vitamins.
You don't need a brind . So massage it enough to release enough juice . I ferment mine for one to two weeks! It's great stuff! If I miss one day without eating it ? I feel the difference the next day .
Enjoy your videos and your Christian example. God Bless
I have done it with 5 gallon buckets and used a whine perky later to exhaust it out just used a painter’s lid and drilled a hole for the plug
Cabbage is like each of us. We all mature at different levels.
Apples, pineapple, or mangos are good in the fermentation too😊
My momused to cook cabbage with bacon grease and salt. It was so delicious. 🙂
i love cabbage any way its made also when im chopping it up i love to eat the core raw i love the crunch and flavour of it lol most people just chuck it out in the garbage have a great harvest and enjoy hugsssss
Cabbage is so good cooked with potatoes and bacon then with sausage added. Really good with new potatoes.
22:16 oh those leaves were heavenly, when I nursing my boys!!! Ugh!! 😩😩😩😩😩
FROZEN!!!!!! 😜❤️

Love your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals and doing the cabbage. I love fried cabbage
My problem is, I love cooked cabbage but can't stand sauerkraut. What a wonderful bounty you had!!
❤ we ferment our va age with apple cider vinegar, salt , and water and eat it every day !
I’m growing/harvesting cabbage for the first time. Love Sour kraut. I invested in the Ball fermentation kit and WM jars. Watching Another TH-cam U video. Thank You Lacey and Mike.😊🙏

Dehydrated cabbage is really good just as a snack.
A brine is the way my grandmothers and my mother did it.
