I usually make it in the bucket, and I don't transfer it until there is enough liquid to cover it.rd200 said:so how long does it take for the juices to cover the slaw?? ive pounded mine before i put it in the jar (1/2 gallon canning jar) for about 10 minutes with the salt then transferred to the jar and pounded again in jar and its not sitting on my counter. How long will it take for the juices to start filling up the jar??
It takes several hours for the salt to pull enough liquid from the cabbage.
At least if you just sprinkle a little salt on each layer. I would think that using more salt would speed up the process, but I'm a heart patient and have to watch my salt intake.
Here is an interesting video on making Kraut.
