My great Aunt shared this recipe with me after I tried to can 32 quarts of kraut one year. I lost everyone to my recipe. The next year I tried hers and everyone went crazy for it. When I open the jar my family would come running to sample it. People preparing--this is truly a great traditional-style recipe. I didn't lose a single jar this way.
Wash and chop (or shred) cabbage. Pack jars tightly with cabbage.
2
Add vinegar, sugar and salt to each jar.
3
Pour boiling water into jar to cover. Place lids on jars tightly.

This will be ready to eat in about 3 weeks. Stays fresh and crisp for years. No need to seal lids--the salt preserve the cabbage, some jars seal anyways.
I wasn't real fond of this. Maybe it had to ferment a little longer. It tasted not quite like cabbage but not really sauerkraut either. I still think it would be better to process this in boiling water after the fermentation is over with. Sorry this just wasn't for me but I'm sure a lot of other people will enjoy this.
