I've been making this recipe for as long as I remember. Growing up, I remember my grandmother making many batches of this sauerkraut at once and packed it into a wooden barrel. It’s one of the stock piled food items stored in advance to last throughout the winter and spring. It requires only three ingredients and so simple to make. Then all you need is to patiently wait for about a week for time to create this delicious homemade sauerkraut for you.
