Sauerkraut is easy to make at home, and in just 10 days. My grandmother use to grow them over 20lbs a head in Haines,Alaska. That was in the fertile Matanuska Valley, the Land of the Midnight Sun, and giant Grizzly Bears. She and my grandfather, made 50 gallon barrels of real rootbeer, and they had a bottle capper, so we always had rootbeer all year around.
Sauerkraut keeps for about 6 months in the fridge. Yes, you can can it, but don’t over cook it, when you do.
I decided to do this educational series on home canning and the ways of survial, because, I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to survive. Making these shows available, is just my payback to my grandparents, who taught me the ways of the pioneer.
How do I use sauerkraut?
I use sauerkraut in my chinese hot & sour soups, salads, on my , veggie tofu dogs, and in my chilli. I hear it’s delicious in a peanut butter sandwich. Whatever floats your boat. I make purple sauerkraut too, it stays purple as long as, it’s totally emmersed under water,while fermenting.

The Matanuska …
The Matanuska Valley in Alaska grows some of the largest vegetables in the world, it’s nice to see an Alaskan Pioneer Woman still in 2008. Your grandparents would be proud of you.

I like sauerkraut, …
I like sauerkraut, but it’s always so salty, but now I can make my own, just the way I want it. I don’t like being water logged from the over salted commercial kraut you have to buy, because grandma is dead, and she never took the time to teach us how to make the good stuff. Another great video….
