While this post is filed under "Cooking Floyd", it's also about "Preserving Floyd" as well. The spring cabbage crop is in. Bess and K.C., the ladies who sell my herbs, had beautiful heads of cabbage at their farmstand last weekend. We planted around ten heads in our garden this year and they are ready to go as well. We planted five of a variety called "Stonehead" and five of a kind called "Golden Cross". The Golden Cross were supposed to be mature at 40 days from planting which got us all excited to have a cabbage come in that quickly. Michael and I are here to tell ya it just ain't so. Both varieties came in at the same time, about 70 days. But the Golden Cross cabbages are definitely tender and tasty!
I love sauerkraut. Michael doesn't. But we both like cabbage rolls and that's how I preserve our cabbage. It's also supper that day.
