Cabbage is finally ready. Time to make some Kraut.
Also will be putting up some corned beef and cabbage for the year, just like a good Mick should.
Cook up your corned beef in the pressure cooker/canner. Mine goes straight from the freezer into the canner. 15 psi for about 90 minutes will have it ender enough to fall apart. If it isn't, cook again for another 30. While this is cooking up quarter your cabbage and remove the "heart". Cut remainder into bite size chunks. Put about a cup of white vinegar into a large pot. Toss in your cabbage along with a medium onion and turn the heat on low. I add some potatoes. New young small potatoes are good with the skins on or use mature potaoes with the skins removed. Stir often to avoid schorching the bottom. When all is just about cooked, stir in the shredded corned beef. Pack firmly into quart jars and process at 10 psi for 30 minutes. Makes a great "heat and eat meal". Dinner in 10 minutes or so.
