Caraway Apple Sauerkraut

Caraway Apple Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is a traditional staple food for a reason. It’s a delicious way to naturally preserve fresh vegetables and even fruits into and through the winter months, and is more digestible and nutritious than it’s component parts. You can scale this recipe up to make a large batch or down, just keep the ratios of salt to cabbage the same (you can use slightly more salt to taste but not less). The nutty caraway seeds are delicious with the sweet apples and tart pickled cabbage.
