The sauerkraut I made in September has a very nice crunch in a very nice brine. You can simmer it a little bit or eat it right out of the jar. The easiest thing in the world to make: 2 cabbages into 5 quarts of sauerkraut in 6 weeks. Great with pork chops & mashed potatoes. Or just the mashed potatoes! Check it out. The recipe's on the YouTube.
I hear Dad’s chainsaw echo down the field
cutting firewood for December’s stove. Her
knife in hand Mom chops the cabbage she’ll seal
in jars pouring boiling water over
it first with a tablespoon of sea salt.
Come November she’ll have her sauerkraut.
Summer yet, but going, and not the fault
of summer that it goes. I want to shout
“Don’t go!” but that won’t stop its going though and
feel it in my bones. I put away the
stuff that stays and pack the stuff that goes. A
wasp falls down along the windowpane and
curls up on the windowsill. Leaves burn
and swallows go before they can return.
