A three-liter glass jar is the most suitable container for pickling cabbage. The fact is that the material of the container is suitable for the procedure, and its size allows you to store the product in the apartment (and then in the refrigerator) without any particular inconvenience.
To salt cabbage in a three-liter jar, you need to know how many products are required for the procedure. The fact is that the pickle eventually turns out tasty and is stored for a long time, you need, firstly, to observe a certain recipe, and secondly, to fill the jar completely (the second point allows you to make sure that the cabbage is under oppression, therefore, chopped vegetables when sourdough will always be in brine and will not dry out).
Now for the ingredients themselves. For a three liter jar, 2-3 kilograms of cabbage is enough. Why is the weight so different? Yes, because it all depends on the method of shredding - the larger the vegetable is chopped, the less it will fit in the jar, since large pieces are not tamped well enough.
Carrots and salt - the amount of these ingredients may vary, each housewife has her own recipe. However, if we talk about average values, then 60 grams of salt (a little more than two tablespoons) and 150 grams of carrots (a couple of medium root vegetables) are enough for a three liter jar. It is believed that cabbage learns the most delicious if you put salt in 2% of the weight of cabbage, and carrots - 5%. However, if you are a lover of carrots and too salty food, then these ingredients can be slightly increased, but you should not overdo it, because with long-term storage cabbage can change its taste not for the better. In general, on a note, carrots are an optional ingredient when pickling cabbage (it affects the color more), but the amount of salt can be determined by taste, because in the end, the cabbage grated with salt should be slightly saltier than a regular salad.
