How do you store it? I've been buying it for Rueben's and have some leftover. I generally throw the leftovers out or eat it as a side dish.

bigbob_ftw do you bury it at midnight on a full moon?

My mom makes her own. Stuff will clean you out for sure.

Ever make your own Reuben?

Shred cabbage
2 tbs kosher salt
2 tsp caraway seeds

Message salt into the cabbage. Fill the crock and weight the cabbage down. Cover with cheese cloth and wait 3 days min.

Salt pulls moisture out from cabbage and makes its own juice.

Made my first batch 1-1-2016 and pulled it 24 days later. Made 3 quarts and I need to start a new batch because im about out. So much better than store bought which is pickled and not fermented. I only used cabbage and salt. Put it in a crock with a plate on top then weights on top of plate. Then put two gallon bags with brine inside to seal air from cabbage.

Do you hand chop it?

Interesting. The recipe I used said cover crock with cheesecloth to let it breathe.
