pack into wide mouth pint jars that are clean and press down firmly as you pack. I use an ice cream scooper and press with it too
fill to the bottom ring and add 2 garlic cloves and extra salt water to fill and cover cabbage. You must leave some head room!
store at 50-70 degrees for a week or two and check daily.
I store mine in my drying oven where I am curing bacon.
