small batch sauerkraut
Comments (17)Sure, you can use red cabbage for sauerkraut. Check out the link. When I have made small batch kraut, I have used a small food-grade plastic lid (think sour cream or yogurt containers) that I cut to fit just inside the shoulders of the jar I am using. A paper pattern helps if you make that first as a guide. Then make a cut from the outside of the circle to the center. This allows you to squeeze the disk to fit inside the jar. It will then pop back to a flat disk. Place a small clean glass (shot glass works well) or jar on top of the plastic to keep it under the brine and thus keep your kraut submerged, then put the glove on top.

Comments (68)aok27502- There are any number of vegetarian recipes that work well as substitutes for ground beef in recipes. These are three recipes I have in my file. #1 Ground Beef Substitute 1 c. lentils 1 c. rice 4 c. water Cook like rice and use as a substitute for ground beef. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #2 Ground Beef Substitute 1/2 c. quinoa* 1 vegetable bouillon cube (or beef flavored) 1 c. water 2 T. olive oil 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped 2 t. minced garlic 1 (15.5) can black beans (UNdrained) In a saucepan, bring 1 c. water and bouillon cube to a b oil. Add quinoa, stir, and reduce to a simmer. Cook until water is absorbed (approx. 20-minutes). Meanwhile, heat olive oil in skillet over med. heat. Add onion, stirring to coat, then garlic. Saute until translucent. Add beans and bring to a simmer, until heated thoroughly. At this point mash some of the beans with a potato masher. Once quinoa is cooked, mix it into the beans. Flavor to taste or to the purpose you will be using the substitute. Makes six 1/2-cup servings. *If you happen to have red quinoa, it has better color than white quinoa for this recipe, but either will work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #3 Ground Beef Substitute http://veggieconverter.com/whole-food-vegetarian-ground-beef-substitute-recipe/...See Moreblack spots on inside lid of canned sauerkraut

Comments (9)They are an older type and that might be the reason, but I really think it is the weather this year. It has been so weird. Unseasonably hot, then cold, Way too much rain, then none, then nonstop rain again. I am 7b Alabama, but there is a thread about the same thing much farther north. https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/5952032/when-the-joy-is-gone#n=20 Maybe you can find the Gonzales again....See Moremellyofthesouth
