Yes, you can use any wide mouth glass jar that you have (like an old pickle jar) BUT it is important that you are able to either get your hand inside to be able to pack down the cabbage mixture or use a tamping device that will fit inside the mouth of the jar. I have a "tart tamper" that I use to pack my 1 quart mason jars. You can certainly use two jars to pack the mixture into also.Julie G wrote:Carrie, I have all sorts of glass jars (many with screw lids) as opposed to typical ball jar style lids. Will that work? Also, should we pre-chop our cabbage? LOL, I want to be ready .
I highly encourage more folks to join in. We have loads of evidence that a healthy gut microbiome is key to maintaining brain health. Lots of newer evidence suggests probiotics are just band-aids and do NOT repopulate the gut in the same way that fermented foods do. Looking forward to this!
Yes, you could pre-chop your cabbage but it will only take few minutes to chop it up. The time consuming part is squeezing the mixture to release the brine.
