Thread: Cabbage Freezable???

thats how i got the huge cabbage in the first place. My dad make a barrel - yes a barrel of sauerkraut and had heads left over. What he makes is really good if you can get thru the awful smell of the brine. Everytime he goes down in the basement to get any of kraut the smell ewwww. Once you rinse it off it's great.

Good idea Miss Connie...This time of year I don't throw anything away..The last spoonful of peas, corn, green beans, bits of meat etc. all go into a freezer box...Pretty soon you can add a couple of rusty nails, and a puppy dog tail and have a pretty good pot of soup!! --- Stir up some corn bread, and ya got supper on a cold and dreary night.

It doesn't freeze well, cooked or uncooked. It will turn to mush upon thawing. Sorry.

I freeze cabbage in the liquid I cooked it in (ie. soup), and it does just fine. In fact, I had some corned beef and cabbage out of the freezer last night.

Cooked cabbage freezes just fine. The only problem is with the texture change with raw cabbage - it will never crisp up again, but if your going to cook it that wouldn't make much of a difference usually. But then again, raw cabbage should be blanched and shocked before freezing - so it wouldn't have the raw crispness anyway. And I just LOVE cabbage rolls!
