Shred the cabbage and place in bowl, adding the salt, spices and mix thoroughly.

Pound and squeeze with a hand washing action until the cabbage is limp and a brine is present.

Pack down hard and place in glass jar and push down ensuring the kraut is submerged.

After 7 days check brine level and re-submerge if necessary. Check every 2 – 3 days and by day 14 to 21 check acidity, then kraut should be ready to use.
