28.04.2019 Bakery

Sauerkraut is, first of all, delicious and useful product... It contains a lot of vitamins, vitamin C in it is 30-70 mg per 100 g (depending on the starter culture), this is almost daily rate for humans. Vitamins K, B, A have a good effect on stress resistance, vitamin B6 is necessary for the breakdown of protein compounds. Vitamins K, U help the absorption of foods, prevent the development of allergies, including asthmatic reactions. The abundance of vitamin PP strengthens hair and nails. But most importantly, it's a good snack.

It is better to take hard, elastic white cabbage for pickling, we will take white cabbage, it will make the most awesome appetizer.

Some types of cabbage are not suitable for pickling, they have tight veins, but they have little juice. They have a feature that they are stored longer, I do not even recommend making a salad from such cabbage, it will not be very tasty.

Sauerkraut according to a simple classic recipe for a 3-liter can for the winter

Required Ingredients

  • White cabbage, medium sized Velok.
  • Carrots - 1 piece (take a medium, not very large).
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon.
  • Allspice black pepper -3-4 things.
  • A couple of bay leaves.

1. Take the cabbage, tear off the top leaves and wash it under cold water, wash so that water does not get inside the cabbage, that is, holding the head of cabbage. Then let the cabbage dry or wipe it off. We take a knife in our hands and cut it in half, for the convenience of shredding. If the volume is small, then you can cut it with a knife, if the volume for pickling is large, then it is better to take a shredder, it will be much faster to cut the cabbage. The stump should be thrown away, it is not necessary to chop it. You can clean it and eat it, but I do not recommend eating a lot, I do not recommend it contains a lot of nitrates.

3 We take and cut the carrots, but do not crush them with cabbage so that the cabbage remains white and beautiful. It is better to grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Then we take carrots and mix with cabbage.

4 Add Bay leaf and black allspice... Then we take everything that we got and mix it.

5 Then we take any dishes, jars, enamel pot, tubs, barrels, in general, in what we will salt and wash and dry well. Pots must be taken without chips and rust.

6 When the container is prepared, we take the product (everything that we interfered with) and put it there, slightly pressing down. By the way, if you salt a large volume, it will be difficult to tamp, it is better to tamp in small batches. so that the cabbage starts up the juice of which will be enough for a good fermentation process, therefore, for better juice formation, it is better to process the cabbage in not very large portions.

7 When the cabbage is placed in a container, it is necessary to strongly add the juice to be higher than the cabbage and close it with some kind of lid or plate, and put a sinker on the lid, it can be a stone and a jar of water at your discretion.

It is important that the cabbage is covered with juice and does not protrude over the edges. If this is not done, then mold will appear on top, it will not keep itself waiting long. And we don't need it at all, it spoils the taste and appearance. From mold, cabbage turns gray, that is, it loses its appearance. Naturally, this also affects its taste.

8 Next, we will put the blank in the room for 1-2 days, it all depends on the temperature in the room. And most importantly, do not forget to pierce it 3-4 times a day. When piercing, foam or bubbles may appear, do not be afraid this is a fermentation process. It is imperative to pierce chopped cabbage with a stick. If the gas bubbles have no outlet to the surface, they will finished product bitter taste.

9 After 1-2 days from room temperature we take it out where it will be cooler, that is, 16-18 degrees This is the ideal temperature for further fermentation... It ends in 2 to 3 weeks. During this time, you can pierce the cabbage with a stick at least 1 - 2 times a day.

10 When the foam stops forming and bubbles go, the contents must be moved to a cold place, and kept at a temperature of 0 - 2 degrees all the time.

11 You can store it anywhere, even in banks on the balcony, even in the cellar, but figure out how to organize oppression.

3 Then mix, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, carefully do not break the bay leaf.

4 Then in the cabbage, add the grated carrots and salt with spices and begin to mash until the juice is released.

5 For pickling cabbage, select a suitable container and fill it with cabbage, put apples between the layer and ram it so that the juice is always on top.

6 Close the cabbage on top with a plate or a lid in the top and bottom and put the oppression. We leave it to sour for 4-6 days at room temperature, do not forget to pierce every day with a stick to the very bottom in order to release gases.

The most delicious and crisp cabbage is obtained if you ferment it on the FULL MOON, as well as on the WISHING and ARRIVING moon.
These are the 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th lunar days of November.

Salting cabbage in 3-liter jars.

RECIPE 1.
INSTANT CABBAGE.

Chop the cabbage into thin strips or cut into slices. Store tightly in a 3 liter jar. Pour cold water, dissolving 2 tablespoons of salt (water 1-1.5 l) in it. Leave the jar warm for 2 days. Then drain a little brine and dissolve half a glass of sugar in it, pour it back into the cabbage, leave for one day, then put it in the refrigerator for storage and use. It is good to sprinkle the cabbage with carrots. grated on a coarse grater.

Line the bottom of the jar with the top cabbage leaves. Finely chop the rest of the head of cabbage, leave a few cabbage leaves intact, they will come in handy later. So grind the chopped cabbage with salt, grated carrots, so that it gives juice, (if this is for soup). If salt for a snack - add caraway seeds, cranberries. Push it tightly into the jar, cover with the left cabbage leaves, cover with a clean cloth - and put the load on top. You can eat on the second or third day.

RECIPE 2.
FOR ONE 3 LITER BANK
We need:
1 large head of cabbage
1 medium carrot
1 tbsp. spoonful of sugar
salt to taste

Cooking sauerkraut:
Cabbage, wash, clean from integumentary leaves. Halve and chop finely.
We put all this in an enamel cup or basin - it all depends on the volume of cabbage that you decide to salt for the winter.
Then we wrinkle it with our hands (like dough) so that the cabbage juice stands out, and the cabbage becomes translucent. At the same time, you need to salt the cabbage little by little - this way it will be more convenient and faster to mash it.

Taste the cabbage all the time, I salt to taste - as a result, the cabbage should be somewhat salty than necessary - the salt will then go away when the cabbage turns sour.

And so that the fermentation process begins, add sugar, a little about a tablespoon for the whole head of cabbage.

Peel and grate the carrots.

Attention! Put the carrots in the cabbage only when you are ready to put them in the jar - you don't need to crush the carrots together with the cabbage - it will not taste good.

Mix gently
When all the cabbage is stacked, it is necessary to put oppression.
I use an ordinary nylon cover as oppression - it is quite enough for such a volume.
Press the lid well, compacting the cabbage, you will have to do this more than once, because during fermentation gases are formed that strive to lift it up. Without oppression, the cabbage will turn out to be loose and soft, but we need a dense and crunchy one.
So we finished salting cabbage for the winter, we got a full 3-liter jar.

But there was a lot of cabbage juice. Never pour it out!
The laborious process of salting cabbage for the winter is over, but that's not all!
She will be ready only in three days.

Our further actions are as follows:
We put a jar of salted cabbage in a plate or in a cup - otherwise all the juice that will rise during fermentation will end up on the table. By the way, we put that little jar of juice side by side on the table (everything will wander there too).
The cabbage will ferment at room temperature for 3 days.
All this time, you will need to free it from the formed gas - hydrogen sulfide - in the morning and in the evening - the smell is certainly not pleasant ... but bearable, the main thing is not to leave it in the cabbage. To do this, you will need to pierce it to the bottom with a thick knife - you will see and feel how the gas comes out.

On the first day it will be a little, on the second more, and by the evening of the third day, the active fermentation process usually ends, you need to pierce the cabbage 2-3 times a day - on the first day, just press the lid and the gas will come out by itself.

When you pierce the cabbage, you need to remove the lid, then put it back in the jar, because it will play the role of oppression.

If there is a lot of juice, pour it into a jar.
By the evening of the third day, sour juice is formed in this jar, and some kind of viscous and slimy - do not be alarmed as it should be.

We pierce the cabbage for the last time, "squeeze" all the hydrogen sulfide out of it, take out the "oppression", pour out the juice from a half-liter jar, close it with a nylon lid and send it to the refrigerator for storage.

That's all! Now you know how to salt cabbage for the winter in a jar!

By the way, after a day you will notice that the juice is well absorbed into the cabbage, so you should not pour the juice out of the can if it does not fit all, just let it stand in the refrigerator next to a 3-liter can, and in a day or two you go there and send, otherwise the cabbage will not be so juicy and crispy.

RECIPE 3.
SALT CABBAGE IN ENAMELED BUCKET.

We take products in the following proportion:
for 10 kg of cabbage:
200 - 250g of salt.
Optionally, to improve the appearance and taste, you can add:
500g carrots, coarsely grated or cut into narrow strips;
and / or 1 celery root;
or 1 kg of whole or chopped apples;
or 100-200g lingonberries;
cumin to taste.

Chop the cabbage and mix evenly with table salt. For even salting, place the cabbage in a wider container and stand for 0.5-1 hour. Then put the cabbage in a bucket (saucepan or jars) tightly to remove air. The surface of the laid and compacted cabbage must be leveled and covered with whole cabbage leaves, protecting it from damage. Place a clean piece of white cloth on top, on top of it a wooden lattice (you can have a plate of a suitable diameter), on which to put oppression. You can use a jar of water as oppression. The grate (or plate) after about a day should be immersed 3-4 cm in the juice released from the cabbage.

Fermentation of cabbage produces gases with an unpleasant odor. To remove these gases, you need to pierce the container with cabbage to the bottom with a sharpened smooth stick every 2 days until the release of gases stops.

Cabbage is ready in 15-20 days, depending on the room temperature.

Put the finished cabbage in 3-liter jars and put in the refrigerator.

After removing the cabbage, the surface should be leveled and compacted so that the juice always covers the cabbage, because cabbage, left without brine, quickly deteriorates and loses some of the vitamin C it contains.

SALTING CABBAGE WITH PIECES.

Cooking method:
We cut the cabbage into pieces, put it in jars, and sprinkle each row with carrots, grated on a coarse grater, and chopped garlic. For a 3 liter jar - 1 head of garlic. Do not stuff the cabbage too much!

Thinly chop the cabbage. We are always helped by the Berner grater. Many housewives love a special hand shredder knife (or hand shredder). It can be bought right now in the fermentation season at any bazaar in the rows with barrel salting.

Chop the peeled carrots to taste. Do not forget that there is not only a coarse grater. In this recipe, we are using medium.


Combine cabbage and carrot slices and mix, fluffing along the way. It is convenient to work with your hands.

We will have brine on water, not pickle in own juice... Without grinding, the cabbage will be as crispy, refined and textured as possible.


We put the mixed vegetables in a jar in half and lightly tamp. Put spices on top. In our case, this is 1 bay leaf, 3 allspice peas and 1 tiny hot pepper... On top of the spices in the jar, put the remaining cutting of vegetables and repeat the set of spices again.

You can add cloves or remove the pepper, if you don't like even a hint of spiciness. These experiments will remain within the framework traditional flavors.


Prepare the marinade, pour in the vegetables and put the ferment under supervision.

Water at room temperature (!).

It is advantageous to prepare 1.5 liters of brine for a 3-liter jar. The proportion for 1 liter is 2 teaspoons of salt. You need pure salt without additives. Accordingly, for 1.5 liters of water - 3 teaspoons. We put in spoons without tops and taste.

Our goal is a slightly saltier solution than perfect soup... Usually 3 level teaspoons are enough if the salt is extra milled. But there are different brands of salt, and the coarse grind is not so salty.

Stir the salt in water until it is completely dissolved and pour the cabbage in a jar, covering the slices. We take a plug and pierce deeper vegetables, allowing the brine to penetrate to the very bottom.


You can use a long wooden stick to nod to the principles of natural fermentation. Strict Zozevites and Ayurveda aficionados strongly recommend working with fermented foods only with wood or ceramics.

If such restrictions seem to you unnecessary troubles, look for a long two-tine flip fork fried dishes... She will allow go even deeper in a dense layer of vegetables.

  • Use any tool to make simple movements: in depth and parted the cutting, let's go bubbles. And so in several places of the vegetable mass.

We add the brine almost to the top - 1 cm before the neck of the jar. Usually a little bubbles form at the top, like foam.


We put the jar in a bowl so that the inevitable fermentation foam can gently drain from the jar. We put a fork next to it, which will remind you of the need to pierce the thread from time to time. This will allow you to constantly release air bubbles formed during fermentation upward.

We pierce vegetables 2-3 times a day.

We keep the jar at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

If your home is warm, it will take less time to cook. If the conditions are sports (+/- 20 degrees), then 3 days is the standard period. Next, we put the vegetables in the refrigerator to stop fermentation, otherwise the cabbage will turn out to be too sour.

  • We advise you to try the slicing already at the end of 2.5 days and proceed according to your own preferences for readiness.

We get good sauerkraut and quite a lot of liquid that flows through the neck of the jar. As soon as the cabbage is ready, cover the container. nylon cover and put it in the cold.




Once we tried the honey version.

On top of the cabbage 2 tablespoons coarse salt with a slide and the same amount of honey. Fill with water at room temperature. Follow the recipe above. Try it after 2 days - for readiness (i.e. is it time to put it in the refrigerator). Honey cabbage also very tasty and suitable for everyone who is not allergic to honey.
