I will do as you recommend. Actually started a small (1 head) batch of 'kraut yesterday in a little crock liner from a crock pot. All this good info on the web is motivating! I have an excellent ginger pickled veggie recipe that I have made before (cauliflower, carrots and more) that is refridgerated, must make that again. Love your site. Cheers. Thanks Emily!!!

Add 1tsp of salt to the top of the carrots and cover with brine (6c. water and 3Tbl. salt) enough so it's all under water. You might stuff a folded cabbage leaf into the neck of the jar to keep the veggies submerged. Put on a lid and tuck it into the fridge for a couple weeks!

I often find used crocks (at Treasure Mart in Ann Arbor) stamped with Ohio or Illinois company names, but I don't know if they're still in business.
