Nana & Papa doing up Sauerkraut

What a wonderful day together . Wanted to share with you how too make Sauerkraut;
Remove defective and coarse outer leaves from the cabbage. Also cut away any spoiled or damaged spots. Rinse heads in cold water to remove dust or dirt. The bacteria needed to ferment the cabbage are found on the cabbage leaves.
Cut heads into quarters and shred the cabbage so that the shred is as long and thin as possible. 

Weigh the cabbage. For every 5 lb. of cabbage, sprinkle with 3 T. pure canning/pickling salt (use a noniodized salt)

Mix well to distribute the salt uniformly. Allow the salted cabbage to stand a few minutes to wilt slightly. 

Then pound the cabbage firmly with a wooden tamper until enough juices are drawn out to cover the cabbage. Repeat this procedure, layer by layer, until the container is filled to the desired depth and the cabbage is completely covered with juice.

Leave at least 5 inches between the cabbage and the top of the container.It is absolutely essential that you cover the cabbage and liquid to exclude air, Place a quart canning jar filled with water and sealed, place a plate on top of cabbage and place the quart jar on top of plate for weight. then add cheese cloth and cover with crock lid.
Enjoy and please let me know how you made out. Will posted other ways or making Sauerkraut.

Morning Basket!

A dear friend posted about Morning Basket for Toddlers/Preschoolers. Please check it out: www.blessingsatfelicityfarm.blogspot.com 
What a great idea for your children and you as parent too bound with them. Taking time with your children and teaching them the Word of God at the same time.




So I thought as a Pastor's Wife what a great idea for you ladies too make a morning basket for you. (Thank you my friend for sharing about a basket for children, it spark my thoughts for you ladies.)
as I shared with my dear friend on her post what I do for my morning basket which I would like to share with you ladies and encourage you too do the same. God so longs for us to spend time with him in His Word and prayer. He longs for us to draw closer too Him every day. He longs to see our life to change in His image, the only way too do that is to Be in His Word daily. I could go on and on. I think you got the idea.

What a blessing it is when you do spend time with Our Heavenly Father, in the Word. So here is what I do everyday as well, my little Morning Basket!





Proverbs 7:1-3
Follow my advice, son; always treasure my commands.
Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes. Tie them on your fingers as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.
