Fast Holiday Sauerkraut

Fast Holiday Kraut makes it so because we don't need a knife or cutting board.
How can this be?
Many supermarkets are now offering pre-washed and shredded cabbage and vegetable mixes for super convenience.
For this 1 pint recipe we need:
1-1/2 bags of shredded green or red cabbage
1 tsp. caraway seeds
1-1/2 tsp. ground sea salt
In a bowl mix the cabbage with the salt and squeeze for several minutes. Wait a few minutes and repeat until you develop a juicy mix
Toss in the caraway seeds and mix
Pack it into a clean one pint, wide mouth mason jar until a couple inches from the jar lip. Add in all the remaining juice. Reserve any excess cabbage for another use like a salad or slaw mix.
Lock down the Perfect Pickler Fermentation Kit according to video directions
Rest the jar in a bowl at around 70º for 4 to 6 days. Taste, and decide if it is sour enough, or recap and continue for another couple days.
