Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make sauerkraut with carrots for the winter? Prepare the necessary products and spices.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the peeled white cabbage in half, then carefully cut out the stalks.

3. STEP 3

   

   Chop all the cabbage quite finely using a special grater-shredder or with a knife by hand.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place some of the shredded cabbage in the first layer in a large enamel pan.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add some dill seeds to the pan with the first layer of cabbage.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now add a little coarse table salt for pickling (not iodized or “Extra”) to the pan with the cabbage.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place some coarsely grated carrots into the pan with the cabbage.

8. STEP 8

   

   Carefully crush the cabbage in the pan with your hands so that it releases the juice.

9. STEP 9

   

   As soon as the cabbage has released its juice, you can lay out the next layer.

10. STEP 10

    

    Continue filling the pan with layers of cabbage with all the ingredients in the same order, kneading it well with your hands.

11. STEP 11

    

    When all the layers are laid out, tamp the cabbage in the pan with a masher until abundant juice begins to flow.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cover the cabbage in the pan with a suitable plate without covering the entire surface, just to hold it in the brine, then press down and place a suitable weight on top.

13. STEP 13

    

    The cabbage is fermented for three to five days at room temperature, during which you need to release all the accumulated gas and pierce the cabbage in the pan three times a day with a suitable clean wooden stick or spatula.

14. STEP 14

    

    After time has passed, place the sauerkraut into sterile jars (sterilize in a manner convenient for you), filling each jar to the very top.

15. STEP 15

    

    Press the cabbage in the jars with a spoon so that the brine completely covers it.

16. STEP 16

    

    Tightly close the jars filled with sauerkraut washed with soda and scalded in boiling water with plastic lids for canning.

17. STEP 17

    

    Place jars of sauerkraut for storage in a cool place (refrigerator, basement, cellar).

    Bon appetit!
