Sauerkraut with juniper berries
It is possible that this way to sour cabbage will seem exotic. Where I live, juniper and as a result, juniper berries, a dime a dozen. Make based on them, in particular, and salting and pickling. It is important to choose ripe juniper berries. They are dark Burgundy, with a slight whitish bloom. Cabbage turns out to be extremely crisp, with a slight kick and a slight wood aroma.
