Sauerkraut has been a staple for hundreds of years. This is great on its own or as a topper for a variety of foods. Refrigerate or freeze sauerkraut once it is fermented.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds cabbage , thinly sliced
- 1 onion , thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons sea salt
- 3 cloves garlic , minced, or more to taste
- water to cover
Instructions
-
1
Mix cabbage, onion, sea salt, and garlic together in a bowl. Firmly pack mixture into a large, clean, food-grade plastic bucket. The cabbage will start to make its own brine as the salt starts to draw out the water of the cabbage.
-
2
Fill a large, clean, food-grade plastic bag with water and place over the salted cabbage mixture so none of the cabbage is exposed to air.
-
3
Allow cabbage to ferment in a cool, dry place, 1 to 4 weeks (depending on how tangy you like your sauerkraut). The temperature of the room you ferment the sauerkraut in should not rise above 70 degrees F (21 degrees C).

Brown Spanish Rice
I like to use brown rice whenever possible, but Spanish rice recipes all seem to call for white. This brown Spanish rice recipe is the result of many attempts to come up with an easy yet spicy Tex-Mex version.
Ritz Crispy Treats
These Ritz crispy treats are a magical mix of buttery crackers and buttery marshmallows, almost like a grown up version of the old school Rice Krispie treat. Sweet, salty, chewy, and a little crunchy—these are indeed a bit more indulgent than the original, but so worth it!
Willis Farm Applesauce
An easy applesauce recipe that uses the spicy cinnamon flavor of Red Hots. The color is fun, too! Your family will love it. Depending on the sweetness of the apples, consider adding less sugar or none at all. Enjoy right away or freeze for up to six months.
