My first-ever ferment is a success!
I did two mason jars of sauerkraut, they're about 3 weeks old.
We couldn't resist eating some of it, so one jar has now been moved into the 'fridge and is already nearly halfway gone. I'm going to let the other one go another week or so and see how different it tastes.
I've never tasted sauerkraut besides grocery store sauerkraut - oh boy is it different! My husband & I have been just putting it into bowls and eating it as a snack, it's that good.
And maybe I just got lucky, but that was SO easy. Some kind of wonderful magic happened in my cupboard and I will never buy sauerkraut again!
