Easy Pickled Cabbage

Ingredients

1 medium head cabbage, green or red finely sliced or shredded
1 medium carrot grated
2 garlic cloves minced or shredded
2 cups water
1½ cups vinegar of choice I like to use apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar of choice I like coconut sugar
1 teaspoon salt I like to use pink Himalayan salt

Directions

Add the shredded cabbage, carrot and garlic to a large jar (quart mason works great!). Pack it down a little with a spoon, a tamper, or your hands. Set aside.

In a saucepan over high heat, add the water, vinegar, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil (about 5 minutes).

Turn off the heat and immediately pour the brine over the vegetables in the jar until covered, but while reserving at least 1-inch of headspace.

Let the jar cool to room temperature before placing the lid on and storing in the fridge.

Keep stored in the fridge for up to 4-6 weeks. Enjoy!
