Sauerkraut and a precious little one...
Yesterday was a long busy day. Mom came out and help me put up this kraut. We ended up with 46 quarts total and we are not finished yet. 38 quarts of regular kraut...
...and 8 quarts of hot kraut. We had to stop there because I ran out of canning salt. We will finish the rest of it today after one of goes to town to pick up more salt. LOL!
I was given 100 lbs of cabbage! I am so grateful for it and we will eat it. We love sauerkraut! I also have cabbage in the garden that is not ready yet so I will probably be making even more later.
No sewing for me at all yesterday. I was just too tired as I was on my feet most of the day. My ankles are sore. Anyway, today mom and I will finish up the kraut and I'm thinking that we will have 60+ quarts when finished. Then after that...I have to finish up that quilt that I have on the longarm as it needs to go back to it's owner this weekend in NC.
I will leave you with this beautiful pic... How gorgeous is this precious little girl. This is my little 2 yr old niece, Addison. I love her more than words. I took this pic at mom's yesterday morning as Addison was getting ready to go to the doctor for a check-up. She was proud of her little dress as she kept showing it to me. I keep trying to get my sister to just give her to me but for some reason she will not do it. LOL! We all just love her to death.
Richard is off today. Not sure what he has planned but he better stay out of my hair....I have things to do today. LOL!

You can have the kraut and I will have slaw...but isn't it pretty in the jars!!? Have a good quilting day!!
y'all must love sauerkraut, I really do not care for it myself, will have a little with a brat but that is it. I do love coleslaw - with just hubby and me though it is easier to just buy a small cabbage now and then. I tried growing them last year and had to fight the cabbage worms too much.
I admire the way nothing that comes your way goes to waste. The rows of canned kraut look really impressive. I can't imagine canning that much in one day. No wonder your ankles are sore.
Addison does look very sweet. How nice that you can be close and be a part of her life.
I love sauerkraut, but to put up 46 quarts? No, thank you! I'll just make a little slaw from time to time, but I'm sure the fresh cabbage from the farm is much better than from the store for either kraut or slaw. That's a very pretty little girl you get to play with! ---"Love"
I haven't made homemade sauerkraut in years. My family liked it so much better than the boughten product. My kraut wasn't near as salty as store purchased. Have a good day.
