Great recipe! I guess you are using a pint sized mason jar? Where does the lactobacillus bacteria come from? All you are adding is cabbage and pineapple/pineapple juice. If you make a larger batch (one gallon) and freeze it in smaller batches, does the bacteria stay alive through the freezing and defrosting process? Do you keep yours in the refrigerator after it is done? Do you have a source for other recipes or information about making sauerkraut/Kefir/Kefir cheese? In a message dated 11/15/2010 9:31:39 A.M.

I could not agree more, Elan. I make pineapple sauerkraut and my own kefir and kefir cheese which in my opinion is delicious. Here is the recipe for pineapple sauerkraut...I use a bit more pineapple than this recipe calls for. Sandy One Step Pineapple Sauerkraut It makes one pint (1/2 liter) of cabbage kraut. 6 cups finely shredded cabbage, 1/4 cup pineapple juice or finely chopped pineapple(or apple juice). Add 1/4t unrefined sea salt (or to taste)and enough juice so that when you press down on cabbage, juice seeps up through your fingers. Press mixture down into Mason jar, making sure you get all air pockets out. Fill to just under rim of jar, then add water to brim and screw lid on. Place jar in a bowl in case of seepage. Leave for 6 days (less in hot su mmer). I love this recipe because I never get mold or scum. There's nothing to scrape off the top. You simply unscrew the lid to delicious kraut. Flavor is awesome! More labor-intensive is to add any other veggies you like such as beets, carrots. To receive the benefits of the live lactobacillus bacteria, consume the sauerkraut as soon as possible. After a short period of time the bacteria will die out.
