MOMS FOR SAFE FOOD
by Sheri
Spicy Hot Sauerkraut
We've been making Sauerkraut for a few years now and this one is a new favorite. Lots of garlic and jalapeno peppers, almost like a kimchi. Goes great with everything!
Ingredients
3 -- 4 pounds organic red cabbage, (shredded)
3 -- 4 cloves organic garlic, (minced)
3 -- 4 medium organic jalapeno peppers, (sliced thin)
1 -- 2 tablespoons sea salt
Instructions
Put all ingredients into a large bowl and mix together by hand. Wear gloves for both slicing the peppers and mixing because they're hot. You can kneed or press it for a bit to get the juices out of the cabbage as the salt sinks in, but I usually just make extra brine to pour on top.
Put in any type of fermentation crock you like. We have one like the one linked below. Pack your veggies in crock and put the stones on top. I usually make extra brine if needed so that the brine goes above the stones.
Start tasting after a week until it's to your liking. I take ours out after a week to ten days and put it in mason jars in the fridge. Yummy and so easy to make!

DID YOU KNOW?
- Adhering strictly to early tradition, a person in search
of luck should carry the foot of a hare, the rabbit's larger cousin.
Historically,it was the hare's foot that contained magical powers.
However, most early European people's confused the rabbit with
the hare, and in time the feet of both animals were prized as
potent good luck charms.
- A blacksmith who forged horseshoes possessed white magic against
witchery. Lest its luck drain out, a horseshoe is hung with pointed
ends up.
- Cock and hen, ancient oracles. The expression "lucky break"
applied to a person winning the larger half in a wishbone tug-of-war.
- Children who play tree tag, in which touching a tree signifies safety,
are unwittingly enacting a four-thousand-year-old custom begun by
the Indians of North America. When a person today ventures a hopeful
prediction and superstitiously knocks wood, that wood ought only
to be, traditionally, oak.
- A relatively recent phenomenon, the sending of commercially printed
Christmas cards originated in London in 1843.
- By 1822, homemade Christmas cards had become the bane of the
U.S. postal system. That year, the Superintendent of Mails in
Washington, D.C. complained of the need to hire sixteen extra
mailmen. Fear of future bottlenecks, he petitioned Congress to limit the
exchange of cards by post.
- It was in America that Santa put on weight. The original St. Nicholas had
been a tall, slender, elegant bishop, and that was the image perpetuated
for centuries. The rosy-cheeked, roly-poly Santa is credited to the
influential nineteenth-century cartoonist Thomas Nast. From 1863 until
1866, Nast created a series of Christmas drawings for Harper's Weekly.
These drawings, executed over twenty years, exhibit a gradual evolution
in Santa-from the pudgy, diminutive, elf-like creature of Dr. Monroe's
immortal poem to the bearded, potbellied, life-size bell ringer familiar on
street corners across America today.
