6. Now let the cabbage stand for 2 days. From time to time, make small indentations in it so the gas that forms can escape. After 2 days, drain the brine off the cabbage, add sugar to it, and pour it back into the jar. After another day, the crunchy homemade winter cabbage will be ready to eat (for a trial taste, so to speak). You can then divide it among jars, seal tightly with lids, and store it in a cool place.
