RE: How to fit 20 pounds of pumpkin in a pint jar!

Carribe the Parrot! hahaha I love this. It's great that you incorporate him into your how to videos. I'm no expert either but it looks like you know what you're doing.

My brother and father make sauerkraut all the time. It's so good but smells so bad hahaha Your preservation process reminded me of what I've seen them do so many times.

Thanks for sharing! I wish you luck in your steemit endeavors. Cheers!

@jocqua, thank you for your kind comments. Yes, Carribe the parrot is a fun name. Our other two parrots are "Bravo" and "Gandalph". They are also in some of my videos. Keep watch, you never know when one will come into the kitchen and ask to sit on my shoulder and watch what I am doing. This evening my husband and I were processing a large squash and we had all three "helping" us.

I have made sauerkraut in the past. I have 8 heads of cabbage waiting processing right now, and will probably make a sauerkraut video using some of them.

Thanks again for watching.

Of course! I enjoyed it. I love the name Gandalph hahaha I'm in New Zealand right now so that's pretty relevant 😂

Good luck with the sauerkraut. I'll have to check back and see if you have anything to add to my brother and fathers process. Cheers!

Jocqua, I would love to know your family techniques and recipe for sauerkraut. My last (and also my first) batch came out too salty and I had to rinse it before eating. Surprisingly after a quick rinse off there was still enough salt to make things wonderful.

Welp, I'm gonna try and see what they're doing the next time and I'll let you know. They probably make a new jar every week or two. I swear they eat it with every meal hahaha I usually join them.

@jocqua, they eat it every day? My that's a lot of sauerkraut. At least it is very good for them. Yes, please do let me know. Cheers!

Hahaha yes! They make HUGE jars of them and practically have it with every meal except breakfast. But I've already talked to my brother and he's more than willing to share his recipe. The next time they make some I'll be sure to share it with you.

@jocqua, thank you so much, I look forward to receiving the recipe and trying it. Perhaps I can even do a video of it.
