Sweet & Sour Kohlrabi
Ingredients
2 lbs. shredded kohlrabi
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
1-1/2 cups Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 Tbsp. whole cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 Tbsp. peppercorns
Making this is a two day process. If you try skipping the first step the texture does not come out right.
Also, if you do not have kosher salt, canning salt works just as well.
Day 1
1. Remove stems, leaves and roots of kohlrabi then peel
2. using a kitchen slicer with the smallest blade, shred kohlrabi. OR
3. using a food processor with a medium sized grating blade, grate kohlrabi making sure you get mice round pieces
4. place in bowl and sprinkle with salt
5. toss with hands making sure that the salt is evenly distributed
6. cover and allow to sit in a cool place for about 24 hours
Day 2
1. Drain Kohlrabi
Makes about 6 pint jars
How long for quart jars?

Kohlrabi is better suited for feeezing than canning. Once thawed you can boil it or stir fry it.
I am looking for a recipe to canning my kohlrabi and cannot seem to find one. Any suggestions?
Try Jackie Clay at Backwoods Home. If she hasn't canned it, you probably shouldn't. Backwoods Home has a website and there is an "Ask Jackie" section.
