Joe, what do you pound with? A meat mallet?

The kraut sounds great except for the part where I would have to eat it. I have never liked kraut.

The veggie kraut sounds fantastic!!! thanks for posting the recipe Joe, will have to try this one!
I dont' have one of those type of crocks you do, but do have my Grandmother's old ceramic one & we've made several batches of 'regular' kraut in it.

I use Anne's wooden rolling pin; the two handles come off when I unscrew one and the center rod comes out when I pull out the other handle. You can buy what looks like a small baseball bat for about $18 (?), but what the heck, all you need is a wooden rod of some/any sort.

JoeBryant sent me a start a few months ago, so now I have one and my mom has one. Hers grows really well, but for some reason mine doesn't....I think my house is too cold. I like it when it's fermented for about 6 days, cause it's still sweet and yummy....and it's carbonated....it's hard not to drink a lot of it....

Here's the recipe that we made up for "low salt" WINE KRAUT that we made yesterday:
***********
6 lbs. of chopped green and red cabbage and carrots (2 pkg.s from Sam's)
2 T. each ground caraway, celery seed, and dill (from health food store)
2 T. dulse flakes
3 peppers - red, yellow, orange
2 small turnips
1/2 head cauliflower
3 cloves of garlic
4 tsp. sea salt
2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled

Pound cabbage mixture with salt
Chop veggies and apples with Vidalia chopper
Mix spices
Mix all together
Pound again
Put in the Harsch pot and cover with the stones
Add 1/2 bottle of Chardonnay wine to cover the stones and kraut mixture.
***********
Sit down, rest, relax, and drink the remainder in the bottle; otherwise it might go to waste.
