SAUERKRAUT IN A BOTTLE
If you love homemade sauerkraut, but don't have your own crocks, this is a great recipe. It's fast and easy to put together and you can make any quantity you want. My father made sauerkraut every year with friends, since he doesn't have crocks, and another friend gave him this recipe to make life easier. Note: cooking time is time to cure.

EASY HOMEMADE SAUERKRAUT
Sauerkraut has been a staple for hundreds of years. This is great on its own or as a topper for a variety of foods. Refrigerate or freeze sauerkraut once it is fermented.

Steps:
- Mix cabbage, onion, sea salt, and garlic together in a bowl. Firmly pack mixture into a large, clean, food-grade plastic bucket. The cabbage will start to make its own brine as the salt starts to draw out the water of the cabbage.
- Fill a large, clean, food-grade plastic bag with water and place over the salted cabbage mixture so none of the cabbage is exposed to air.
- Allow cabbage to ferment in a cool, dry place, 1 to 4 weeks (depending on how tangy you like your sauerkraut). The temperature of the room you ferment the sauerkraut in should not rise above 70 degrees F (21 degrees C).
