Thanks, sounds nice and easy. I will save the juice. It's loaded with salt but I love it, just a sip now and then. I used to have a problem with caraway seeds. My teeth could not handle them. They'd get stuck between my teeth and cause discomfort, so even though I enjoyed rye bread I had to start getting it without seeds. When you add the seeds after the apple rinse, do you heat the kraut up? If so, does that soften the seeds in any way? Thanks again.
