Preparation notes

Step-by-step method

  1. Quarter and thinly shred the cabbage.
  2. Sprinkle salt over the shredded cabbage and mix so all the cabbage contacts the salt.
  3. Massage and squeeze the cabbage vigorously until a lot of water/juice is released.
  4. Let the salted cabbage sit for 30 minutes to allow more liquid to build up.
  5. After 30 minutes, continue mixing and squeezing to extract additional brine.
  6. Add spices (mustard seed, caraway seed, juniper berries) and mix to integrate.
  7. Load the cabbage into mason jars in layers, packing down firmly each time so the brine rises and covers the cabbage. “This will fit way more than you think.”
  8. Place the reserved large cabbage leaves over the packed cabbage and fold them down to create a seal between the cabbage and the brine on top.
  9. Add lids to the jars.
