Quarter the cabbage, shred and wash. I used a salad spinner to dry it off.

In a jar or a pot layer the shredded cabbage with carrots and a sprinkle of salt. Mash each layer thoroughly before adding the next layer.

With the cabbage down with a stone or a plate. The cabbage juices should cover the top layer of cabbage. If not, add a little water to raise the level at least about 1/2 inch above the cabbage.
