From the Vitality Food Feature ‘Preserve Your Harvest the Old Fashioned Way‘.

INGREDIENTS

  • green cabbage (shredded)
  • 3 to 5 Tbsp sea salt (or to suit taste)

1) Layer shredded green cabbage in a crock, sprinkling each layer with sea salt (approx 3 to 5 Tbsp, or to suit taste, for every 6 – 8 pounds of cabbage).

2) Weigh the cabbage down with a rock and cover with a cloth.

3) Push rock down every few hours until cabbage is covered in its own brine.
