Salt and sugar are based on 1 liter of water, red pepper, black peppercorns and vinegar essence – one 3-liter jar. Four 3-liter jars 3 medium leaves cabbage and 4 pieces of carrot. Prepare the vegetables: shred cabbage, carrot peel and grate on a coarse grater. Add to the cabbage and mix well. Jars and lids sterilized.

At the bottom of each jar put ¼ hot pepper (if you don't want, it is possible not to put) and at the 5 things black pepper. Put in a clean sterile jar, wide and deep bowl (in my case it is a plastic basin) It is necessary why, that cabbage is not scattered on the floor when we are going to put it in banks. The basin can be collected and put back into the jar.

To prepare the marinade: boil water, salt and sugar. Spread out in banks shinkovannoy cabbage, lightly tamping, but not too zealous. Top each jar pour 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Don't worry, vinegar will not. The cabbage will be very cool! Pour into banks boiling the marinade without adding to the edge of the banks 2 see to Pierce the cabbage with a long knife, lightly pushing him aside. It is necessary then, to all of the air from the jar was released, and cabbage soaked marinade. Hope everything is clear written...about the knife. Pour boiling marinade to the edge of the sterile banks and roll up cover. Flip and wrap. One 3-liter jar takes from 1.2 to 1.5 liter of marinade, depending on how you pack the cabbage in jars. I do four 3-liter jars - liters 6...I'd rather let it stay than not enough. So definitely to say exactly how much water for the marinade will not work. Same with the cabbage, shred a little more. After all, the definition of the "middle fork" may all be different! If some money remains, then it can make fresh delicious salad!

I always make more of this cabbage, but sometimes fantasize – in a jar put chopped bell pepper in the other – grated horseradish, in the third – grain mustard, fourth – chopped Apple slices. Getting different cabbage with an amazing taste! In winter, open the jar, fill with onion and butter...mmm, but with potatoes!
