1. STEP 1

   

   How to pickle cabbage with beets for the winter? Prepare all products according to the list. Try not to reduce the amount of spices. Take white vinegar, table vinegar, 9 percent. But if you are used to making preparations with other vinegar, use it.

2. STEP 2

   

   I personally don’t wash cabbage, I just remove all the top leaves from it. In dense heads of cabbage, the entire interior usually remains clean. Cut the cabbage into four parts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut each of the four parts into smaller pieces. Although you can simply cut the quarters into 2-4 pieces. And then separate them with your hands into separate leaves.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic and cut it into slices.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash and peel the beets. Cut it into arbitrary pieces. You can use straws, slices, cubes, plates, or cubes. I boiled my beets, but there is no need to do this. The beets are added here raw. And it is advisable to take a bright color.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the cabbage in the bottom of a pre-washed and dried jar. It is better to sterilize it to be safe. Fill the jar a quarter full.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place a layer of beets on top of the cabbage. Alternate the cabbage and beet layers until you fill the entire jar to the top. Press down the vegetables with your hand, but be careful not to crush the cabbage too much.

8. STEP 8

   

   Prepare the marinade. To do this, let the water boil. Add salt and all the spices to it. Let it simmer a little, about five minutes, so that the spices release their aroma. Remove the marinade from the stove and pour vinegar into it. Stir.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the hot marinade over the cabbage in a jar. Pour right up to your shoulders. Wait for the marinade to cool completely. Then close the jar with a nylon lid and put it in the refrigerator. After a few days, you can take the first sample. You can tell when cabbage is ready by its color change. The more raspberry it is, the better and tastier it is.
