I use a funnel when filling jars and it helps to eliminate most of the mess.

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

HI Barbara, yes you could do that. I find it more trouble than it's worth for sauerkraut, but I use my wide mouth funnel all the time for canning. ~Michele

[@mariannemarek6683]

Use a wide mouth funnel and it is less.of a mess.

Grow the Golden beats every summer! Most of the ingredients are in my garden actually!! Lol. We have two pear trees and two apples. Love Redmond salt by the way! I have been using it now for over a year because of another KZbin channel I watch! I'm gonna start this ferment soon. It sounds delicious and nutritious!!😃🍠🥬🫚

A one gallon ZipLock bag 1/2 - 3/4 full of water (expell as much air out as possible before closing.., filling bag inside a pot with water does a fantastic job of accomplishing this) is a good weight to keep things submerged.

Do you store your finished krauts in the refrigerator?

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Yes, I do recommend refrigerating your finished kraut to keep it fresh and crunchy. ~Michele

[@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649]

I have good luck with Morton Canning Salt.

[@schwingam1]

Mary's Nest sent me also :) Question:. Not a beet fan. Can I exclude?

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Hi Alice, you can, but if you have not tried golden beets before you might be surprised. They are sweet and mild, without the earthy, sometimes metallic flavor that red beets have. I encourage you to give them a try! (And they do so much to add not only a beautiful color, but wonderful digestive benefits to Golden Sauerkraut.) I can confidently promise you won't taste them in your final product. Blessings, Michele

[@sarahdavison2692]

Looks awesome! Would you know what is the best way to store the kraut after fermentation is done? Covered mason jars in fridge? Canning? Freeze drying? Vacuum seal for freezer?

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

In the fridge or a cool storeroom is ideal. Here is a link to the printable recipe with helpful tips and info for you: chocolateboxcottage.tv/videos/golden-sauerkraut/ Michele

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Yes sea salt is fine! Just avoid iodized salt or salt substitutes. 🌻 Michele

[@sharonhobein5570]

Hi Michele I just tried my golden sauerkraut after about 2 weeks in the fridge. It is so good. But I do have a question. I had about 3 inches of brown oxidized ferment. I had weighted everything down and was always under the brine but still had the brown on top. Is there a way to avoid this?

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Hi Sharon, hmmm.... that is an unusual amount of browning. Normally as long as everything is under the brine it should keep its nice, bright color. Are you using quart or half gallon jars? ~Michele

[@sharonhobein5570]

1/2 gallon. And I did wonder if that might be a factor

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

@@sharonhobein5570 half gallon jars are fine. Smaller jars often have a little more oxidation. I'm sorry that happened. If it bothers you, you can scoop that part off and just eat the pretty colored portion underneath.

[@sharonhobein5570]

Yep that’s what I did😊

[@sharonhobein5570]

Well I just made the golden sauerkraut again and made it in quart jars. I’m so happy no brown discoloration like in the 1/2 gallon jars. Love the recipe. Thank you Sharon (Megan’s gramma😊)

I will remove the tumeric and ginger skins and leave out the sweet potato for bread consistency pudding because nothing absolutely nothing should overtake the cabbage taste.

I'm sorry to hear that, Deborah. We generally eat a forkful of sauerkraut with meals to sharpen the appetite and improve digestion, so it isn't very much salt at once. Mayhe that would work for you. Hugs, Michele
