BEST & Healthiest Way to preserve CABBAGE | Old Fashioned Fermentation Process Sauerkraut

[@jerryodell1168]

Years ago the Family made Kraut and canned it. It was much better than most that could be purchased. It was a vinegar method that was very easy to make. Unfortunately, the recipe was lost over time and none of the recipes I've read online sound right. Moral of the story - Spread the good recipes around so maybe the shared recipe can return if your copy is lost.

[@denisewalsh9873]

canning fermented food kills the good bacteria. May taste good but no fermented benefit

[@vickiehamilton6596]

My granny used vinegar would bring to boil add Salton top of kraut in jar pour vinegar into JAR TILL CABBAGE covered put on lid set in dark area for fermenting

Thank you for the reminder that 'perfect food comes from imperfect plants' . I'm dealing with someone who never had the chance to learn about growing food or even cooking it! The education about getting rid of the bad parts and working with the good is a lesson my friend needs to learn.

[@grizzleegurr7421]

I heard somebody say that if you make a t cut cross on the stem you cut the cabbage from, more cabbages will begin to grow off of that stem.

Hello all, I have a question. When are you going to be putting up the other Yurt?

[@catherinemiller2351]

I love seeing the little one he so happy love the giggles 😊

[@patsanzone8019]

I used insect netting on the brassicas this year for the first time. I can't believe I didn't try is sooner. The cabbages were almost bug free . So much less work cleaning them up. The netting was a great investment . I just moved it over to the blueberries to keep the birds from eating half of them and it seems it will last me for years . Might be something for you guys to consider. And hey I have the same shirt. lol. People comment on it quite often.

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Thanks for the suggestion!! That is awesome!

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

1 year my youngest got to take a portion of garden in exchange for him helping me in garden. We got 3 cuttings off cabbage. The 1st the heads were bigger than basketballs. 2nd were still nice size, 3rd heads were definitely smaller, but still tasty (son sold the 1st 2 cuttings). That year he also sold 3/4 the pear jelly (we added lace to the rings & ppl bought it up like crazy). Profits he bought candy bars & sold for big profit at school. An entrepreneur at 12

[@pammiegalloway4061]

I know what you mean. My first garden. I definitely didn’t want to touch anything… it was so beautiful. I was so proud of myself… I just wanted everyone to see it. But I did enjoy eating everything. 😂I love your videos. I’m so proud of you and your family union. Pammie from Chicago Illinois 😊

[@donnabowen1636]

I would love some stuffed cabbage rolls.

[@googiesfairyfarm4834]

😁Those are some HAPPY goats!!🐐

[@GS-rw9og]

thankyou

[@corrinnehoffman3248]

I ferment my cabbage and veggies in jars with the brine method and love it. Just a couple table spoons with meals is so good and does the trick.

[@trinapellegrino621]

🙋🏼‍♀️🕊. I was taught to salt the water 💦 it makes the dirt sink and draw out the 🐛 bugs. Good luck 🍀 Blessings to your family. 💞🕊🙋🏼‍♀️🍀🕊🍀

[@ready4itmimi865]

Love that your including the bloopers! They are so funny!

[@laneclaypool8005]

Try some cabbage fried in bacon grease with black pepper and salt (onion would go good in it too). Cut the cabbage into quarters, then cut the quarters into one inch strips, cut the strips into one inch squares. Break it up so the pieces don't stick together, fry on a low heat until it all wilts down and gets soft. I like a bit of crushed red pepper and some crispy bacon broken into one inch pieces added towards the end of cooking. Hope you like this.

[@Crowley001]

That cabbage crunch is so satisfying to hear 🙂

[@deborahc.9869]

Ki is looking like a combination between Lacey and Micah right now. You can tell that Ki is a happy and healthy baby.

[@livinglife8333]

My absolute favorite meal is fried cabbage with bacon and onion. Some cornbread and soup beans on top of the corn bread. Yummy!

[@kellyfarrell8180]

Thank you for showing this i love cabbage i usually fry it with smoked sausage, noodles, and corn bread but i love sourerkrout with a little brown sugar for the tartness lol and Lacie love your hair that way i was praying 🙏 for you to get better God Bless you and your Beautiful Family ❤

[@charlenerichie5911]

Micah is a big boy now. It wasn't to long ago he was playing in the dirt with his dump truck

[@NovaBill6264]

Hello brother Fit Farmer awesome job God Bless you and your family

[@marydingus4360]

Just wondering when you going put that other yurt up? Can't wait see it all put together?! I'm sure you all could use extra space!❤

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Working on it!

[@Homesteadtrucker_offical]

Man, I have not seen you guys in a while. Congratulations on the baby!!

[@jeanstafford7597]

Yay!!! Great clip!! You inspired me to go and do my first fermentation!I even have my grandmother's cabbage slicer! It took us forever to figure out what it is for. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a crock lid. It must have broken after all thses years!! Keep on doing what you're doing and teaching those sweet babies and us too the things being forgotten! Thank you!!

[@bcgreen1966]

When I go on my cabbage kick I pickle and make a large batch of cabbage rolls

[@lanettelawrence6308]

Thank you FIT FARMER .

[@JustmeDiane]

Sarah love your hair cut! Sweet Hezzy is getting so big! Love cabbage with butter! ❤

[@cindyrogers4206]

Time passes so fast . What a beautiful baby. I have not had much success with cabbage. Bugs take over . Yours look nice

[@FarmingOnTheRocks]

So satisfying. You inspired me to continue with my Channel 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@suzymatwetwe]

You've inspired me to get a fermenting jar 👌. The chickens also LOVE cabbage. I hang a whole cabbage up under the trees for my hens and they spend days pecking at it.

[@apostlepaulvining5688]

Mike maybe try wrapping ur cabbage with big bug screens or netting letting photosynthesis take place while protecting your crops.

[@ELOAAMinistries]

I have started growing cabbge from the stem from a store bought cabbage!

[@masunshine2970]

Darn KZbin i haven't seen you guys for a long time thanks to all their stupid things they do mixing everybody up. Glad to see your family again.

[@lisabeal8615]

Thanks. That crock looks like a nice way to make kraut. I've done it in jars. Nothing better than eating your own grown and preserved food. God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@eaccristo]

Beautiful cabbages. !!!❤

[@67wing]

Nothing is more satisfying than a good crop

[@ingenoordam7422]

With me it is different; I can have raw cabbage, but in past time I couldn't had Sauerkraut. But that was Sauerkraut out of the shop(factory) Now my husband makes homemade Sauerkraut in the Sauerkrautpot, and I can eat that without any problems. Well not two days in a line, but it is great. He also fermenting with sweet pepers and union in a jar. And that eating a littlebit by a meal is great. And I just do not have any problems. Hurray for homemade!! And with this Sauerkraut pot you using. We let it stand for 3 months. G'D BLESS and greetings from Inge Noordam (the Netherlands/Europe)

[@orlanduhden5842]

Selah was such a cute toddler! 🙂

[@lindajoe9862]

Apples, pineapple, or mangos are good in the fermentation too😊

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

That's one humongous urn of cabbage/sauerkraut !!!!! What a beautiful harvest of cabbages, that are bearing the evidence of def being organically grown !!!! You'll never get that many grubs slugs & worms enjoying your produce when it's treated with pesticides !!!!! A simple hose off or water bath will usually draw them all out and they can then become added nutrition to your fowl. Nothing needs to be wasted. Akso when you don't add poisonous pesticides the outer leaves that the grubs have feasted on can go as added food source to your other farm animals eg. goats, pigs, cattle, ducks, turkeys etc. What a great video covering a wide range of sustainable gardening. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞✌️👍👏🇺🇲

[@Serenityfor1]

Great Asmr video love the sounds of the cabbage!

[@frenchysandi]

As a youngster we fermented cabbage and it was fun squishing the cabbage because it squeaks.

[@brendah4773]

22:16 oh those leaves were heavenly, when I nursing my boys!!! Ugh!! 😩😩😩😩😩 FROZEN!!!!!! 😜❤️

[@sarahthomas9153]

That was some happy goats at the end 😊

[@OrganicMommaGA]

I had never had homemade sauerkraut until this year. We did not plant cabbages in our garden (for reasons you mentioned) but also because even though I have a great portion of my heritage from Ireland and Scotland, there is only so much corned beef and cabbage one family can eat. LOL So we bought some cabbage (green and red) and made our own 'kraut - we added some jalapenos to ours with the garlic. And my goodness! We are planting some cabbage in our Fall garden and Spring garden to see which way works best for us because EVERYONE enjoyed the 'fermented cabbage! Bonus: now that we have chickens, any little critters and extra leaves will not go to waste or live to make more pests for our garden. Thank you for sharing this with us! Looks like little Hezekiah might be teething - but what a smile when he's happy!

[@anapaulacrawford5837]

Sourkrout! I make as much I can eat . I heat two tables spons every night ! I so swear it it works wonders! I use the red cabbage for more vitamins. You don't need a brind . So massage it enough to release enough juice . I ferment mine for one to two weeks! It's great stuff! If I miss one day without eating it ? I feel the difference the next day .

[@roxanasmith7745]

That crock is so great its just great .no fanc gadgets. Thankyou for showing us this

[@colleenkrall630]

Last year we had 4 firm smaller heads grow after we harvested the large head. Love your videos.

[@lukanyo5413]

Thank you for sharing your experience with preservation of food for it's what we need nowadays. Be blessed.

[@dorisharrison9885]

Cabbage,Cabbage everywhere so good eating with much care,love them😊😅💜

[@CuttingCrossCountry]

Love this... I've got my first cabbage this year. Crazy I put it in last fall as my first fall homsted garden. I expected to harvest before winter hit but it was a early and had winter.. they got buried in 6 ft+ of snow... along with Brussel sprouts and broccoli... they all three survived!!!! And loads of lettuce and kale! Hoping my cabbage survive the bugs trying to eat it over the last week! 🙌🏼

[@bingo45373]

I have done it with 5 gallon buckets and used a whine perky later to exhaust it out just used a painter’s lid and drilled a hole for the plug

[@marycountry]

Hi guys, good to see the whole family. 👍🏻🙏😊❤️

[@SonniesGardenPA]

I love fermenting my cabbage, nice harvest.

[@wendysaggus7058]

are you all going to plan an outdoor prep area for your food? seems with everything you harvest and process, you all would benefit from one. love watching you all and learning from you all

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals and doing the cabbage. I love fried cabbage

[@sarahbear1236]

My grandparents have huge crocks that when they don't use them to make kraut they have glass table circles that they use to make them into side tables in the living room. They don't make kraut like they did when they had 5 kids growing up at home but they do it every now and then. I hope to inherit them someday.

[@janisb8064]

Boiled dinner and cabbage steaks are great too 🙂

[@davidnorrislifeontheroad5114]

Just realized you did a live. I'll check it out after watching this

[@gabba5423]

Thanks I've never made kraut before. I will have to try it. Thanks was very informative.😊

[@lenalyles2712]

Dehydrated cabbage is really good just as a snack. A brine is the way my grandmothers and my mother did it.

[@annphilbeck5174]

I grew cabbage broccoli and cauliflower for the first time had a great crop.. I cooked my broccoli and cabbage leaves and it taste like collards. thanks for your videos.. you remind me so much of my Brother in law. smart but so much fun.

[@debrasaints3809]

Eeww! I’m never growing cabbage! I’m sure that the ducks and chicks love their gourmet food! Y’all are such a beautiful and blessed family, praise God! Sending much love and blessings ❤️🙏🏼 Ps: That lil munchkin is looking so precious 🥰

[@orlanduhden5842]

My momused to cook cabbage with bacon grease and salt. It was so delicious. 🙂

[@earthsgardenapothecary7185]

I want that jar!!!!! I am growing cabbage this year so hopefully I can make some.

[@larryfeeks6620]

Cabbage fermented sounds delicious!

[@jamespuchaty6393]

That is hilarious I was just thinking about you and your wife last night. Wondering where y'all are at not seeing you on KZbin. There you were this morning showing how to ferment cabbage.

[@Pepper5655]

I add 1 tablespoon of Redmond salt to a large head of cabbage, let it sit for about 30 minutes then begin to crush and pound until I have a nice brine and shove it into a quart jar. thnx for sharing. I want to grow my own cabbage this fall. I really like sauerkraut and like to keep it on hand. But I'm the only one that eats it.

[@mysterblue313setstfin9]

I admire your dedication brotha stay blessed 🙏🏾💪🏾

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

i love cabbage any way its made also when im chopping it up i love to eat the core raw i love the crunch and flavour of it lol most people just chuck it out in the garbage have a great harvest and enjoy hugsssss

[@sharonwalberg5438]

Cabbage is so good cooked with potatoes and bacon then with sausage added. Really good with new potatoes.

[@SherryArnold-gq1or]

Thank you Mike & Lacy, ive learned a lot, i never knew how to make sour kraut, i will try it Lacy's way, i enjoy all of yalls videos, stay safe,and God Bless, Hollern atya from West Tennessee

[@overcomer1222]

At 12:30, perfect example of "the early bird gets the worm"

[@dixsigns1717]

I soak my cabbages in salted water because my Grandma said it kills the bugs. Hey, beautiful cabbages. Lacy, I do about 1 tablespoon per large head, because my husband has heart problems and can't handle a lot of salt. I got lost for 2 days doing a deep into how to make kraut. Cause Grams was too salty for us. I came to the same conclusion as you: No matter how you do it, just do it! So healthy.

[@tanianigelwade8935]

Getting bugs out of veges we use saltwater it works very well. Xoxoxoxo

[@rosaolbera8768]

Omg this so adorable little one is growing up so fast awesome video Rosa olbera

[@claudettehernandez3402]

I’m growing/harvesting cabbage for the first time. Love Sour kraut. I invested in the Ball fermentation kit and WM jars. Watching Another KZbin U video. Thank You Lacey and Mike.😊🙏

[@denisewilson8367]

My babies used to get ticked off when they had the hiccups. Poor baby! Thanx Lacey for your recipe. I prefer to fry or bake my cabbage. Once in a while I'd make cream of cabbage soup or beef & veggies soup including cabbage. Or boiled dinner with ham, sweet. Potatoes, & cabbage wedges. Or beef roast, cabbage wedges, parsnips, and russet potatoes. Once in a blue moon, I'll make Kentucky fried chickens Cole slaw.

Oh my goodness, that is such beautiful cabbage. The baby is getting so big. Maybe I can get my sauerkraut right this time. Thank you God bless.

[@imari2305]

I love all leafy greens but they wreck havoc on my digestive system. I love sauerkraut but never thought to make it myself because I don't have mason jars or anything large enough to make it in. Time to head online to look for that crock Lacie has which is just beautiful.
