Cabbage Economics: More than Sauerkraut by Ruth Paget

Cabbage Harvest:  More than Sauerkraut by Ruth Paget

I would drive my family bonkers every winter when we lived in Wisconsin by making brats loaded with warm sauerkraut and brown German mustard for dinner on University of Wisconsin football game days and walk around wearing my UW cheesehead.

Laurent and Florence opted for Culver’s cheeseburgers.

If you really want to make sauerkraut at home, this video show the two-ingredient method with cabbage and salt.  I would store sauerkraut in the refrigerator, but this video presents conditions where you can store sauerkraut out of the refrigerator:

Sauerkraut Video

There is actually a lot you can do with cabbage that is not sour like Dijon roast pork with apples and cabbage.  

I wrote a blog on cabbage that details great recipes and cookbook resources for cabbage noted below:

Cabbage Recipes for Winter

Cabbage is full of Vitamin C, a great antioxidant.  That fact makes me like it even with brats.

Cheddar Bread Recipe by Ruth Paget

Cheddar Bread Recipe by Ruth Paget 

Makes 2 loaves 

Ingredients: 

-1 (0.75-ounce) package instant dry yeast 

-1/2 pound shredded, sharp cheddar cheese 

-1 (10.75-ounce) can Campbell’s tomato soup 

-1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimientos with juice 

-1 cup scalded milk 

-1/2 cup butter 

-6 to 7 cups flour 

Steps: 

1-Dissolve yeast in water according to package instructions. 

2-Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl to form a dough. 

3-Place dough in a warm spot and let rise to double its size. 

4-When the dough has risen, punch it down and knead by hand for 15 to 20 minutes. 

5-Let dough rise again in a warm spot.

6-When the dough has risen again, punch it down and knead by hand for 15 to 20 minutes. 

7-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

8-Form two loaves. Spray Pam in two bread baking pans and bake loaves for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. 

Cheddar bread tastes great toasted with melted butter and a mug of strong black coffee with warmed milk to drink.
