i had a recipe that said to ferment the cabbage in salt water for 6-8 weeks before canning it.

i kind of forgot about it and it stayed there for now 12 weeks without me touching anything (no skimming nothing).

what do you guys think?

still safe?

just can it?

throw it away?

Thanks

did the cabbage stay under the brine? If not, throw it imo. The scum is just yeast basically, scoop it out and smell it, if it smells like kraut and not moldy, try a texture feel, does it feel slimy? If not move on to a taste test. Basically if it looks good, smells good and tastes good you should be all set, otherwise dump it
