Stir the salt in water thoroughly, put the first portion of cabbage in it. Apply enough cabbage so that it is covered with water.
Let's time it, we keep the first batch of cabbage in salt water for 10 minutes. Wash the cans with soda. We spread the cabbage with our hands, taking it out of the pan, do not wring it out. Transfer the layers with grated carrots.
Tamp the cabbage and carrots in a jar tightly with your hand or a wooden crush.
When cabbage is compacted, juice is released, it should reach the very top of the can.
Immerse the next batch of cabbage in the same saline solution, but keep it for 15 minutes. During this time, cut the next portion of cabbage. We keep the third batch in brine for 20 minutes. From 2 kg of chopped cabbage, I got 1 liter and one 1.5 liter can. We cover the cans with lids, put them in deep plates or on a pallet, because brine will flow out of the cans within 1-2 days. Salting cabbage for the winter in jars is almost complete.
Leave the jars at room temperature. When the brine stops flowing out, we close the jars with lids and store them anywhere - at room temperature, in the pantry, and in the cellar.
