The weeds are winning in my garden. I was thankful back in April that it was dry as managed to get most of my garden planted earlier than I ever had in in the 21 years that I have lived here in Beavercreek. But now with April rains in June My garden is soaked and some of the tomato plants are turning yellow. I need to get some more beans in if it will dry up a little this week, if not I will go fishing , and add to the freezer as there is a good catfish bite on now. Kenny Ray , Biscuit {Dan} my nephew , my mom and I picked about a gallon of Black Raspberries last Thursday night after work and mom made some more jam yesterday, while Tari and I made some sauerkraut from 4 nice heads of cabbage out of the garden and she also made me some Cole slaw. I make my sauerkraut like my grandparents did and I assume my great grandparents as well. Here is my recipe.
Brewer family sauerkraut
1 shred cabbage and place in jar, leave 1inch head space
2 pour 1 tablespoon of pickling salt over cabbage in jar
3 add cold well water to cover cabbage { try to avoid city water} and dissolve salt
4 cover with lids DO NOT TIGHTEN leave loose for 2 days then tighten lids and store
The above picture is 6 quarts that Tari and I put up yesterday. Mom and I will be busy for the next couple of weeks picking berries and canning beets as they should be ready this week as well.
