But îî's no small operation. It takes 20 people to do it. Thecy work from early morning to late at night, and when they finish Iliey've made 100 quarts of the famed German dish! In one day! That seems like an awful lot of, sauerkraut, but it all gets eaten. Don and Alice divide it a mong their friends and have enough left over to go with their favorite meals for two years. Making.the traditional recipe is steeped in family history. "I remember doing this as a kid," says Don, a musician, whose parernal grandfather came to Canada from Germany. "The family would gather in the kitchen of the old country bouse and make sauerkraut. The house bas gone, but the tradition is stili alive." The implements needed have' been passed on fromn father to son.

The large barrel where the cabbage ferments bas mnellowed with age, and the pounders used te crush the shredded cabbage have become rounded at the ends with use. Don and Alice set aside a date late in October for the sauerkraut session. Once the date is set, they gel on the phone and round up their friends, some of whom they've kn own for over 25 years. When they go into action, everybody bas a job te do. As a first step they lug in 400 pounds of cabbage. They take off the outer leaves, quarter and core before slicing. That's done with a hand-made slicer Don's father put together 60 years ago. When a big tub is fi-nally filled, the sliced cabbage is dumped mbt the barrel and the pounding with, the malles begins.
