Pickled Cabbage And Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Place cabbage in a large non-reactive bowl or plastic food-safe bucket. Sprinkle salt over cabbage and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Let soak in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Squeeze out liquid from the cabbage; drain.
• Combine water, vinegar, sugar, oil, turmeric, celery seed, and mustard seeds in a large pot; bring to a boil. Stir in drained cabbage, onions, and red pepper. Bring back up to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until onions are very tender, about 45 minutes.
• Sterilize 6 quart jars and lids in boiling water for 5 minutes. Pack cabbage mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1 inch of the top. Run a clean knife around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large pot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to cover jars by 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 25 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the pot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• In a large bowl or cork, toss the cabbage and peppers with the salt. Cover and let stand in a cool place for 8-12 hours.
• In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then let it cool.
• Rinse the cabbage, and drain it well. Toss with the pepper flakes, mustard seeds and garlic. Pack the vegetable mixture firmly into pint mason jars. (the recipe as written generally makes about 4 pints. If you find you need more jars, you may not have packed firmly enough - and you'll need more vinegar mixture as a result.) Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Close the jars with hot two-piece caps.
• Process the jars for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the cabbage.

Steps:

• Cut a 1/2" slice from the stem end of the peppers and reserve. Carefully remove and discard seeds. Cover the peppers with well-salted cold water and let stand overnight. The next day, drain the peppers. Chop the cabbage fine, and mix with cloves, salt, celery seed, mustard seed and cinnamon. Fill the peppers with this mixture, replace end slices and tie in place. Place the peppers upright in a crock or large jars. Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil and pour over the peppers. Place a plate or lid on top of the peppers, weight the plate, and cover the crock. Leave in a cool place for 3 weeks before using so that the flavors have time to mellow.

Steps:

• Cut the first 2 inches off the top of the cabbage and use for something else.
• Trim away the base of the cabbage and cut the rest into about 2 inch slices. Put into a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients; mix well.
• Spoon into a preserving jar, seal and leave for 3 days in a cool place (pantry or refrigerator).
• This is a Thai dish to be used a a side dish with curries.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
