Chop or shred cabbage and sprinkle it with 1 tbsp. of real salt.
Knead the cabbage with clean hands until there is enough liquid to cover. You may also pound the cabbage with a potato masher.
Sprinkle remaining salt and caraway seeds on the cabbage.
Then place the cabbage, the berries and the chopped apples into a large glass food container, pressing them underneath the liquid. You may add a bit of water to completely cover the cabbage and apples if necessary. Cover the jar with a lid.
Culture at room temperature (60-70°F is preferred) for at least 2 weeks. Make sure that the sauerkraut is completely submerged in the liquid. Check cabbage every other day and skim off of any scum that may form on the surface.
Once fermented, it can be eaten right away, or it will store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to six months.
Enjoy! Sauerkraut is very tasty on its own but also very delicious when added to soups, salads, or on top of meats.
