Ingredients
1/4 cabbage
1 litre water
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup salt
1 tsp sugar
1 lemon (squeezed)
Spices of your choice
Large jar with lid
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the cabbage. Chop the cabbage into chunks.
Place chopped cabbage in a large sterilised jar (do not put the lid on).
Heat water, vinegar, salt, sugar, spices and lemon in a pot until the mixture boils.
Pour the boiled ingredients (brine) in the jar of cabbage, filling up to the rim. Tighten the lid and leave to rest for 24-48 hours. It is then ready to eat.
Note: Allow the brine to continue to boil in the jar until it cools down.
