The 100 Year Old Method Our Grandparents Used To Preserve Food - Sauerkraut
Today we’re turning homegrown cabbage into traditional sauerkraut using methods passed down through older generations.
In this video, Saundra shows how she makes old-fashioned fermented sauerkraut in a traditional stoneware crock, just like it was done before refrigeration and grocery stores. After fermenting, we water bath can the kraut so it can be stored long term in our pantry.
This is about more than cabbage. It’s about self-sufficiency, food preservation, and keeping traditional homesteading skills alive.
We walk through:
• Preparing fresh garden cabbage
• Salting and packing kraut into a stone crock
• Traditional fermentation methods
• Monitoring the fermentation process
• Water bath canning sauerkraut for storage
• Why these skills still matter today
Learning how to preserve your own food is one of the most empowering parts of homesteading. Sauerkraut is simple, affordable, and incredibly nutritious — and it connects us to generations before us.
If you’re interested in homesteading, traditional food preservation, fermenting vegetables, water bath canning, or building a self-reliant lifestyle, this video is for you.
Preserving the harvest the old-fashioned way! Join Saundra in the kitchen as she turns our homegrown cabbage into delicious, long-lasting sauerkraut using a traditional stoneware crock.
There is something incredibly special about preserving food using the exact same methods our grandparents used. At Sheraton Park Farms, we believe true self-sufficiency means keeping these traditional skills alive.
In today’s video, Saundra is taking you step-by-step through the lost art of making homemade sauerkraut. We start with fresh, homegrown cabbage straight from the garden and process it using a beautiful, traditional stoneware crock—just like the older generations taught us.
But we don't stop at fermentation! To ensure this food lasts us all winter long, Saundra demonstrates how to safely process and seal the kraut using a traditional waterbath canning method for long-term pantry storage. If you want to build your food security and enjoy the amazing health benefits of homemade fermented foods, this video is for you!
In this video, you will learn:
The Prep: Slicing and salting homegrown cabbage.
The Crock: How to pack a traditional stoneware crock for fermentation.
The Waiting Game: Tips for a successful, healthy ferment.
Waterbath Canning: Step-by-step instructions for canning your finished kraut for long-term storage.
