I grew up eating sauerkraut w/Black pepper corns & Juniper berries. Roasted along side pork tenderloin w/mashed potatoes. O.K., now I'm hungry

Sounds so delicious

[@royjohnson465]

@@Leelalicious ~Heating up (too hot) Sauerkraut will destroy the healthy enzymes. So do not boil sauerkraut, just very, very slightly warm it up with a little bit of added water in a stainless-steel pot if you want to eat it with meat like pork hocks cooked separately.

[@oregonpatriot1570]

While it doesn't 'go bad' for many months, it's best (as you say) to eat it within a couple weeks. But what many people don't know is you can freeze it. I generally make a half gallon, portion it by quarters into zip lock bags, and toss all four bags in a larger bag before throwing it in the deep freeze.

[@Leelalicious]

Oh that is a great idea. I just did a bit of research, and while high heat will kill probiotics, freezing will mostly just make them go dormant. So defrosted sauerkraut should still have significant probiotic value. Yay!

[@CleanCutt]

@@Leelalicious - nah ... personally, I'd rather eat it fresh and a week or do before I finish the batch ... make another batch ... fresh.

[@bullhead900]

I can it, it keeps for 2 years.

[@paulrhodesquinn]

I find it best after about a month. It’s like coleslaw when it hasn’t fermented properly 😉

[@oregonpatriot1570]

@@CleanCutt As with most homemade things, kraut is definitely best fresh. But it's only me here, and by the time I finish it, it's a long way from being fresh. This leaves me with two choices. 1) I can make several smaller batches, trying to stagger them so I'm always close to a batch being ready. 2) I can make a big batch and freeze it in portions. Freezing doesn't alter the taste or consistency enough to notice, so freezing is really the only option _(for me)_

Very nice job on your video, thank you. I've always loved sauerkraut. Made some for the first time a couple days ago. I found the water not covering the kraut all the way so I put wine cork vertical in the center and closed the lid....now everything is covered from the pressure of the lid on the cork. I guess you can use just about anything. Corks just happened to be right there. Thanks again !
