Making juice from fresh cabbage or pickling it is very simple. Here is the recipe:
For one glass of cabbage juice, you need about a quarter kg of white cabbage. Cut a quarter kilo of cabbage into small pieces. Put them in a blender and add a glass of water. If you intend to pickle the juice, add some salt (approx. 1/2 teaspoon). Mix the contents so that the puree is not completely formed, but the cabbage particles are visible. You can drink this cabbage pulp immediately by filtering it through a thick strainer or cheesecloth. You can pickle the juice by pouring the pulp into a sterilized jar. Close the jar and leave it at least for 72 hours. You don't have to do anything else - the pickling process takes place automatically. After pickling, drain the juice through a strainer. If you intend to prepare another portion of sauerkraut juice, it is a good idea to pour a tablespoon or two of the juice from the previous pickling into the new portion. This will speed up fermentation.
