The preparation is slightly different for making Basic Sauerkraut versus the Probiotic Vegetable Medley (veggie pickles!), but the same brine recipe is used, and overall it's the same process. I've included both guidelines in this one recipe card because the recipe is so similar when you don't stamp the cabbage for sauerkraut. Start with Step 1 to make a Probiotic Vegetable Medley or Step 3 for the Basic Sauerkraut. You can also double the brine and make both!
