Beet Sauerkraut

My children call this “purple kraut.” The flavor is tangy like regular sauerkraut with earthy undertones from the beet and carrots. You might want to make a few jars at once while you are at it. I find we go through it so fast that it is easier to make more at once. Serve with a meat main dish or bean soup to enhance digestion. I also like to serve this over poached eggs for breakfast.

Ingredients
1 heads red cabbage shredded (8 cups)
1 medium beets peeled and shredded
2 large carrots shredded
1½ tablespoons sea salt
1 cabbage leaf (to cover vegetables)
