The 100 Year Old Method Our Grandparents Used To Preserve Food - Sauerkraut

The 100 Year Old Method Our Grandparents Used To Preserve Food - Sauerkraut Today we’re turning homegrown cabbage into traditional sauerkraut using methods passed down through older generations. In this video, Saundra shows how she makes old-fashioned fermented sauerkraut in a traditional stoneware crock, just like it was done before refrigeration and grocery stores.
