Vert Slightly sweet sauerkraut ????
Im a beginner sauerkraut maker and am looking for recipe help...I used to hate sauerkraut but tasted a jar of home made that was deliciouse ..it had diced up red sweet peppers in it and had an ever so slightly sweet taste to it ..would the red pepper alone give it that taste ?? If so..do I dice the pepper up with the cabbage and brine it mixed in for the curing time or do I add it later when the Krout is done ?
Any help appreciated and many thanks for any replies.
Sincerely Janet Hoshel

I think that the pepper would be the culprit. You can add that when you shred the cabbage.

Sounds great !!! Why didn`t I think of that when I had bushels of peppers ?? I also would do it at the same time I did the cabbage !! I would slice thinly or shred with the cabbage so it would be pretty as well !! I would think that the sweet taste would come from the peppers !! But I do know a few people that add a tbsp or so of sugar when the prepare it for a meal !!

It really is the easiest thing in the world to make !! Just make sure that the cabbage stays under the brine and skim it as needed !! In two to three weeks you will have kraut !! Please do keep us informed !! Are you adding the peppers to this batch ?? If so I would like to see if yours has the same sweet taste !! I may try it next year !!

Yup ...cabbage is under the brine and I did add the red pepper to this batch. For the pepper to be the same as the jar I was given I added 1 red pepper per each 4 pound head of cabbage...Im trying this first batch without adding any sugar...if its not as sweet as the one I tried Ill try again with a tbsp of sugar...But will keep you informed as to how it turns out and what I added once I get the satisfactory result.....Thankyou I really value your input Martha H.....If its any easier you can use my email ... jddh@netkaster.ca what ever you prefer. Its suposed to notify me through my email when I get a response in here but it doesnt seem to work.
Thank you
sincerely Janet Hoshel
