  2. How is it made? • Chop up cabbage while sprinkling salt on the cabbage. • Add other vegetables such as carrots. • Press into dish, cover snugly, wrap in a cloth to keep out flies. • Push down on covering to force water out of the cabbage. • After a day or so, check the kraut and scrape off any mold. • If it tastes good it is ready, if not let it sit more.
