Linda all my grandmother receipes and etc. Had to come from either Cannon or Coffee co.

Just salt, water and chopped cabbage. I will try and find my receipe but one thing for sure after you put it in the jars & put the lids on you need to set them in a dark and preferrably cool place like a basement. Before I had a basement I set them under the floor away from any light. Be sure and sit the jars on several layers of newspapers. When it starts to ferment it will ooze out from under the lids and down on the floor. My mother and father-in-law taught me how to cut it with an old timey kraut knife (big blade on end of a stick) but the last few years I just put it in the blender or chopper. Works just as good and much quicker and easier.
