Cooking time: 3 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to hot pickle cabbage in brine for the winter? Prepare all the necessary ingredients indicated in the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove any tough or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Peel the carrots and garlic. Rinse all vegetables and bay leaves in clean cold water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the cabbage in half and chop each half not very coarsely, as in the photo.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grate the carrots on a grater for Korean salads. You can use a regular grater with large teeth. I ended up with a little more carrots than indicated in the recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the garlic into medium-sized circles or slices, as is more convenient for you.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place all ingredients in a large bowl or saucepan. Mix everything well, rub with your hands so that the vegetables release a little juice.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the three-liter jar and lid thoroughly with detergent or soda, rinse several times in clean water and dry. Fill the jar to the top with cabbage.

8. STEP 8

   

   Prepare the brine. Pour a liter of water into a small saucepan or ladle, add salt and sugar, add peppercorns and bay leaves. Place the brine on the stove and bring to a boil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Immediately pour boiling brine over the cabbage to the very top. Cover the jar with a screw or nylon lid and leave at room temperature for three days.

10. STEP 10

    

    Periodically remove the lid and use a clean fork or knife to pierce and crush the cabbage. After 3 days, close the jar with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for long-term storage.

11. STEP 11

    

    You can make a simple but very tasty salad from this cabbage. To do this, squeeze the cabbage from the brine, pour in a little aromatic unrefined vegetable oil, add onion, cut into thin half rings, and serve this salad with meat or potato dishes. Sprinkle with fresh dill if desired.

In the fall, it's time to pickle cabbage. This time I chose a recipe for quick hot cabbage in brine for the winter. The preparation is not difficult, the main thing is to wait for the result) I didn’t measure the amount of cabbage and carrots, I took as much as I had. I boiled the brine with two liters of water. I took sugar and salt without a slide. The cabbage was poured with boiling brine, as indicated in the recipe. It’s even surprising that after this procedure the cabbage becomes crispy) After a day, the brine became cloudy and bubbles appeared. Next, I began to pierce the cabbage with a clean spoon and release these bubbles. Within two days the cabbage was ready! It is very crispy, sour, with a sweetish aftertaste. There was just enough salt. The recipe is excellent, everyone liked the cabbage.
