Once it shreds down, then wilts,,,sure looks like a lot less than 5 lbs!!! Stores sell it in 1 lb. bags, and 2 lb. jars....50 lbs would keep you going for a whole year easy!!!!

It is very good on a pastromie, too. <br /><br />When I grew up, we had a cherry tree in the back yard and my Mom canned cherries. She also made jams and jellies. <br /><br />MarilynNew York State Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079961105585950354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-60104934626117968842013-07-09T17:08:35.514-04:002013-07-09T17:08:35.514-04:00SueAnn, you're certainly a wealth of informati...SueAnn, you're certainly a wealth of information. I've never canned anything, but if I did I know where I could go for information. My mom canned peaches when I was young, and boy where they good. But it's not a new skill that I want to take on, although I admire those who do. <br /><br />DoreenCountryside Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784726289611258835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-69138353940591113942013-07-09T16:22:04.834-04:002013-07-09T16:22:04.834-04:00Marilyn, you are so funny!!!!

Now you know when you eat that hotdog or brat...it is cabbage that has been sitting around for a few weeks!!!! <br />a good , old fashioned German meal is sauerkraut and sausage, or brats...just heat up a pan of the kraut,(now you know where the nick name "kraut" comes from!!), add a sausage..like a summer one, or a few brats...depending on how many you are to feed.....mix in some tomato juice. or catsup, give it a good stir and let it simmer, covered, til hot.....Lots of Germans serve this over mash potatoes..good comfort food! I add caraway seed to it while it cooks...gives a nice flavor-say to a quart of kraut, add 1 sausage, or 4 brats, and about 2 T caraway seed....catsup or tomato for however moist you want it....some add chopped hard boiled eggs over it when they plate it....

Take the basic 5 pound to 2 T of salt.....that is good for a small family..and for a "try it and see" too, and..if all you can grow or find..is about 2 cabbages! <br />Remember ti keep it out of the light...that jar link used clear jars....that is not a good idea...and many old canning books show how to do things...with clear crocks..that is only so you can see what they are doing.....If it is going to go bad..you will see it immediately, on the very top, each day you clean the muslin....(and rinse the plate off)<br />Breakfast chores: make coffee or tea, feed the dog or cat, clean the sauerkraut!!! LOL!! Be sure to mark on the calendar when you start it...so easy to forget!SueAnnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-73902531893742637512013-07-09T15:57:34.054-04:002013-07-09T15:57:34.054-04:00I hope to try the sauerkraut, thanks for answering...I hope to try the sauerkraut, thanks for answering the questions, and for posting on your blog.

You are all so kind....we have had more rain..Ohio is becoming the new swamplands of America! and humid, of course! <br />I will talk about tomatoes tomorrow, because they are a fruit, although we all call it a vegetable..so there are several different ways you can can them....<br />I will do a post next Tuesday, that is just recipes....<br />Just be sure about your seals...some will re-seal, and then re-can, any jars that did not seal the first time..but it depends on what you have..the 2nd canning could make it mush....and some do subscribe to the turning over thing..but..remember...they may not keep it stored long...or have just been lucky not getting food poisoning,,and paraffin on jams and jellies has been "outlawed" by the Federal Agriculture for about 50 years..but some do it...and that is risky too....I have done it..and tossed a lot of jams out...so...be safe..be smart....a few pennies spent...could be a life.... when Dec. comes, you will feel secure offering anything you have canned with a seal, done the right way...! and get compliments too!!!SueAnnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-12278758405742784042013-07-09T14:00:30.734-04:002013-07-09T14:00:30.734-04:00Hello Everyone,
