----------
Make:   -   (2 days - 25 min work)
  1. Quarter CABBAGE lengthwise and cut out the core. Slice very thin crosswise.
  2. Place Cabbage in a non-reactive bowl and sprinkle generously with salt. Let sit a few hours, tumbling now and then.
  3. Rinse Cabbage well, drain and wring it out. Pack in a jar.
  4. Mix all Pickle items in a pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes, then strain into jar of Cabbage.
  5. Press Cabbage down under the pickle. Seal the jar and let mature a couple of days in a cool place or 2 weeks in the fridge. Actually, I usually start eating it within a few hours. It will keep a couple of months in the fridge.
NOTES:

  1. Vinegar:

      This is properly Red Wine Vinegar.

  2. Pickling Spice:

      This is a spice mix used the world around to make Euro-American style pickles, of vegetables and meats, such as corned beef. It is easy to make following our Pickling Spice recipe.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
