The undisputed leader of our preparations is cabbage. Pickled cabbage, for which I have special requirements: it must be crispy, with enough carrots and not spicy (well, if only a little). I also really like adding bell peppers to cabbage, but my husband doesn’t like this at all. Well, since I’m still more omnivorous, I focus more on my husband’s taste and make pickled cabbage for the winter according to a recipe that I’m just about to write about. It's classic, nothing extra - just cabbage and carrots. For myself, sometimes I just add pepper to one or two jars. Try it.

- cabbage - 4-5 forks, on average 2-3 kg each,
- carrots (large) - 8-10 pcs.,
- seasoning “Mixed peppers” (peas) - several pieces,
- cloves (buds) - several pieces,
- Bay leaf- 1-2 pcs. on the jar
- water - 1 liter,
- salt - 2-3 tablespoons,
- sugar - 1-2 tablespoons,
- vinegar essence (70%) - 4-5 tablespoons
Method for preparing pickled cabbage for the winter
About three years ago, when I just started pickling cabbage myself, the most painful process was chopping the cabbage. God, how I remember the kitchen table littered with cabbage and these huge, terribly sharp kitchen knives with which I cut almost all my fingers. Creepy. But now I do it easier and safer - I use a grater-shredder. I take my largest enamel pan, cut each head of cabbage into smaller pieces and grate the cabbage on this grater directly into the pan.
When I'm finally done with the cabbage, I turn to the carrots. Use the grater attachment and coarsely grate the carrots into the pan.
Having dealt with the carrots too, I sprinkle the vegetables with salt and mix everything well, trying not to mash it too much with my hands.
I leave the vegetables alone for a couple of hours, and in order not to waste time, I sterilize the jars. I prefer to do this steamed: I put a pan on the stove, pour water into it and put a mesh divider (I don’t have a special attachment for the pan, you know, there are those with recesses for jars). I place jars washed with soda on the mesh, neck down, and sterilize them for 30 minutes under steam. For cabbage I use 2-3 liters. Along with the jars, I also sterilize the lids.
I throw a few peas, 2-3 cloves, and a bay leaf into the prepared jars (be careful, they are hot). I tightly fill the jars with cabbage from the saucepan, and add all the ingredients for the marinade and boiled water to the remaining juice (I boil it in a kettle and immediately pour it into the brine). I bring the marinade to a boil, taste it to see if there is enough, and carefully pour it over the cabbage with a ladle and around the edge of the jar. I roll up the finished jars with lids, turn them over and wrap them in a blanket. So they stay with me for a couple of days, then I hide them in the closet - we have the first floor and it’s quite cool there in winter. It stays great until mid-summer.
Today I will introduce you to recipes for pickled cabbage in jars for the winter. The recipes are wonderful, I will say without hesitation, they are proven. So take note and act. Cabbage stored for the winter is an important strategic reserve for every self-respecting housewife.
