Preparation
Step 1
Serious Heat
makes 1 quart
Place cut cabbage in large bowl and sprinkle salt on top.
When the volume of cabbage appears to have reduced by half, add the caraways seeds and work them in.
Pack the salted cabbage into the quart jar in layers, firmly pressing it down each time before adding more (the entire 2 pounds of cabbage should fit into a quart jar).
Loosely cap the jar and place it in a cool, dark spot.
After two weeks, taste the sauerkraut. If you like the flavor, place the jar in the refrigerator. If you want something a bit stronger, let it continue to ferment until it pleases you.
