My Dad used to make kraut. I didnt like the stuff back when and never tried it. But I do know that folks begged him for the recipe and he would never give it out.

I do remember the stuff being chopped like slaw. It was crisp and not soggy at all. I also remember him putting a small piece of bread at the top before sealing the jar. He said that was how you knew if it was good. I am assuming he meant that it would be moldy if bad. I dont remember if he heated the jars or not.

I have looked for the recipe in his files, on the net, etc., but I cant find anything close to what he did.
