Favorable days for canning and homemade preparations in 2018
In the fall, as you know, the chickens are counted and the harvest is harvested. It is clear that growing a good harvest on your own plot is only half the battle. It is important to preserve everything that months of hard work have been spent on.
There are many ways to prepare berries, vegetables and fruits at home, but they will delight us with an exquisite taste only if the recipe is strictly followed.
But, paradoxically, the taste of homemade preparations and canned food is also influenced by some intangible astrological factors, such as the phase of the Moon and its passage through the signs of the Zodiac.
Many experienced housewives, for example, know that you should not make sauerkraut or preserve vegetables on full moon days - the result can be disastrous. It is also undesirable to choose days for all types of preparations when the Moon passes through the signs of Cancer, Virgo and Pisces, otherwise the products will quickly become moldy and spoil. The 3rd and 4th phases of the Moon, as well as the days when the Moon passes through the signs of Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius and Capricorn, are rightfully considered the best for preparations. Moreover, each type of blank has its own nuances, which were taken into account when compiling Lunar calendar for 2018. Good luck with your preparations!

In order for the sauerkraut to be juicy, crispy and not bitter, during the pickling process you must adhere to the recommendations and advice below.
Moon phases and days of the week
According to numerous observations, the most delicious and juicy cabbage is obtained only if it is cooked on the waxing moon.
If sauerkraut is prepared on a full moon or on a waning moon, it will certainly be sour and soft.
Also worthy of attention is the folk superstition that you need to ferment cabbage on the “male” days of the week - Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
Selecting cabbage and preparing it
Choose white cabbage for pickling, with cabbage slightly flattened on top. Green varieties of sauerkraut are not as tasty.
Taking 2-3 medium-sized cabbage heads with a total weight of up to 4 kg, peel them from damaged upper leaves and chop them finely.
Wash and peel 2-3 medium-sized carrots, and then grate them on a coarse grater. Don’t mix carrots and cabbage, the time has not come yet.
Grinding with salt
Place shredded cabbage in a large enamel bowl or pan, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of coarse table salt and begin to vigorously grind, crush and stir.
During the grinding process, the cabbage will begin to release juice.
The more thoroughly the grinding is done and the more juice the cabbage releases, the tastier the final product will be.
Add previously grated carrots to the grated cabbage and add 1 tablespoon of sugar. After mixing thoroughly, proceed to placing the cabbage in the jar
Bookmark in a jar
Fill a three-liter, cleanly washed (preferably sterilized) glass jar with cabbage, packing it as tightly as possible.
Terms and rules for sauerkraut
The density of the cabbage and the less air left in the jar will directly determine how juicy and crispy the product will be at the end of the fermentation process.
A couple of hours after putting it in the jar, you need to check whether the released cabbage juice has covered the entire cabbage on top. If not, add cold boiled water to the jar, otherwise the top layer of cabbage will darken and become unattractive.
Therefore, when adding cabbage, do not fill the jar with it to the very brim; leave about 3-4 cm of free space for the juice.
Pickling
Cover the jar with cabbage with a plastic lid with holes for the release of gases, which will inevitably be released in large quantities during its fermentation.
Place it in a warm place, remembering to place a bowl under the jar to collect the cabbage juice that runs out of it.
Every day, with a thin stick or knitting needle, pierce the cabbage in the jar in several places to the very bottom to release the gas bubbles that have formed in it.
After about 3 days (you need to regularly take samples), the cabbage will be ready. To avoid peroxidation and to slow down the fermentation process, place the jar of sauerkraut in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your meal!

What kind of person doesn’t like cabbage pickled with cumin, lingonberries or apples? This is a universal dish that can be served as a snack and used to prepare sour cabbage soup.
According to popular statements, this preparation should be done on full moon days.
Signs about pickling cabbage
They can be determined by the lunar calendar. It's great if these dates fall on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. It is believed that if you follow this folk sign, pickling cabbage will be quick and easy, and the dish itself will turn out very crispy. Whether this is actually true is difficult to say. But many people say that this saying really “works” and when they sauerkraut according to this sign, it turns out more juicy and crunchy. Although, there are also those people who argue that, on the contrary, it is impossible to do salting during the full moon. This supposedly means ruining the dish. Which one to believe is unknown. There are fans of one approach and another.
On the mentioned days, you can safely practice sauerkraut. It will turn out no worse than the one that will be prepared on the full moon. Many people, by the way, prefer to wait for the new moon, which falls on “men’s day,” and start making preparations on that date. According to them, cabbage turns out even better than on a full moon.
Sauerkraut is a delicious and very healthy dish. GlavRecipe.Ru shares recipe for making sauerkraut in all its details.
To prepare absolutely magical sauerkraut, in addition to the vegetable itself, you will need several pieces of kitchen utensils. First, the starter utensils. The ideal option is a wooden barrel. It is difficult to find, so you can use a glass jar with a very wide mouth. Why the neck of the jar should be wide will become clear later. The second item is a large wooden board. Again, ideally - a sheet of plywood measuring half a meter by half a meter. The third necessary device is a sharp knife, the longer the better. Finally, you will need a plastic or enamel basin. The first three items will definitely be needed. A basin may only be needed the first time. During the cooking process, decide for yourself whether it is needed or not. It may happen that you can do without it. Having prepared all the listed items, we proceed directly to cooking.
A description of the further procedure will follow for a head of cabbage weighing two kilograms. If the head of cabbage is heavier, make the adjustment yourself. The stalk is cut from the head of cabbage.
Tip: Throw away the stalk. Cabbage stump accumulates harmful substances in its pulp. Do not under any circumstances eat it.
So, cut the head of cabbage into four parts and start chopping on the prepared sheet of plywood. It will take a long time to chop! The longer the better. You can turn chopping into a ritual. Smoke breaks, coffee, conversation. The main thing is to chop for a long time.
Periodically place the shredded cabbage mass in a bowl so that the added amount of shredded cabbage does not spill onto the floor. Consider this: high-quality shredding of two kilograms of cabbage takes about half an hour. If there is more cabbage, adjust the time yourself. And so the cabbage is chopped and placed in a bowl. Now comes the time to add salt.
Sauerkraut according to the lunar calendar 2018: choosing the most favorable days
Obviously, this is convenient when there are numbers - for so much cabbage, so much salt. However, cabbage is a specific vegetable to which standards do not apply. Therefore, it is impossible to clearly say that there are one hundred grams of salt per kilogram of cabbage. The ideal taste of sauerkraut is, if you like, empirical, experience, experiment. The more often you ferment cabbage, the faster you will arrive at the required proportions in accordance with your preferences. And yet, without any advice at all, it is risky to ferment cabbage in the dark, so something like this - for “pilot” fermentation of a two-kilogram head of cabbage, take about four tablespoons of salt. It is best to use coarse salt. Such a convenient salt for cooking as evaporated Polesie salt is not suitable for fermenting cabbage.
Pour the salt directly into the bowl with the cabbage. Next comes the most important operation, on the quality of which the success of the entire culinary operation depends. Everyone probably has an idea of what hand washing is. If not, then take an interest in the technology of this matter. Because there is a lot of action to be done that is similar to washing. Take as much of the chopped cabbage mass as you can in your left hand, and some in your right. And rub, imitating the movements during washing, for example, the collar of a shirt or blouse. You need to rub with force until the cabbage juice begins to stand out. At the end of the “washing” you should get the following picture - the cabbage mass turns from white to darkish and wet. A visible amount of juice accumulates at the bottom of the basin.
Next, use a regular coarse grater to prepare the carrots. Again, find out the required quantity experimentally. For the first time, use about half a kilogram for a two-kilogram head of cabbage. Pour the grated carrots into a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Tip: Before you start tamping, place the jar in a basin, because during the tamping process, cabbage juice will necessarily pour out of the jar.
You need to tamp very, very hard to completely squeeze out the air remaining between the cabbage particles. The picture at the end of compaction is a layer of cabbage, completely covered with a layer of juice on top. Next, take a glass jar of smaller diameter than the size of the neck of a large jar, pour water into it and place it in the jar with cabbage. This will be a kind of oppression. If you are using not a jar, but a barrel or a tub, then come up with something else as oppression. It is not necessary to place the jar of cabbage in any special place. A common place in the kitchen. Room temperature.
After two days, carbon dioxide will begin to be released - a waste product of lactic acid bacteria. Foam will begin to form. A very important stage. Therefore, the action that needs to be performed is very important. You need to remove the pressure and pierce the cabbage mass several times to the very bottom of the vessel with a knife or something long. The main thing is to get to the bottom. After completing this simple step, install the oppression back.
Two more days - and cabbage can be served. Sauerkraut should be stored in the refrigerator.
Bon appetit.

One of the most popular dishes on our tables is salted and sauerkraut. It is rich in a whole complex of vitamins and minerals. And the amount of vitamin C is greater than citrus fruits.
Dishes made from sauerkraut support the immune system and improve digestion, normalize cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
With the onset of autumn, we develop a need for sauerkraut. This is manifested by a constant desire to enjoy such a dish. And all because our body signals the onset of cold weather and weakening of the immune system. Indeed, to prevent acute respiratory and viral diseases, it is enough to eat 100 grams of sauerkraut daily.
There are quite a lot of recipes for cooking. But just as easily as cabbage is prepared, it can just as easily go bad. It is believed that the taste and quality of pickling and fermentation largely depends on the phase of the moon. There are even favorable and unfavorable days for this vegetable. When can you pickle and ferment cabbage in 2018?
Why are cabbage prepared according to the lunar calendar?
Our ancestors were engaged in preparing vegetables after the Intercession (Christian holiday). It is important what phase of the moon will be during this period. This has been studied in practice for more than one year, and even more than one century. And the following conclusions were made:
- On a full moon or waning moon, cabbage will be soft and sour. The finished product will look more like a clot of mucus than a vitamin dish;
- On the new moon, or rather on the fifth or sixth day after the new moon, you need to start the leaven. Then the cabbage will be tasty and crispy. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (the so-called men's days) are considered more suitable for this process.
Before salting cabbage in 2018, it is equally important to know which zodiac sign the Earth’s satellite will be in when preparing the vegetable preparation.
- If it is Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aries and Taurus, and at the same time the waxing moon, you need to get to work.
- And when it is in Cancer, Virgo or Pisces, it is better to refrain from salting and fermenting vegetables.
Also, to prepare cabbage, you should choose the right variety, it is best if it is late. Heads of cabbage for pickling should be white, tight and strong. There should be no bitterness in their taste.
Before processing, the top green leaves, also dried and wilted, must be removed.
Favorable and unfavorable days of 2018 for pickling and sauerkraut
This vegetable itself is low in calories, but if you season it with vegetable oil, it will add a piquant taste and increase the calorie content of the dish.
An equally important role in the preparation of pickling and fermenting cabbage is played by the container in which it will be salted. Previously, they used wooden tubs and barrels. Nowadays, they began to use glass jars or enamel containers, while others use plastic buckets.
Cabbage should not be stored in aluminum containers. During the fermentation process, the metal will oxidize, and all its properties and color will be transferred to the product.
Containers with prepared cabbage preparation should be covered with gauze or grape leaves.
