Vegetables and Spices

1 head Green cabbage, shredded

2 medium Carrots, grated

1 large Bell pepper, thinly sliced (red or green)

1 to taste Scotch bonnet pepper, whole

4 cloves Garlic, minced

1 medium Onion, thinly sliced

2 tbs Celtic sea salt

2 cups Vinegar (white or apple cider)

1 tsp Black peppercorns

1 tsp Thyme (fresh or dried)

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Vegetables

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced bell pepper, minced garlic, and sliced onion.

Add Salt

Sprinkle the salt over the vegetables and mix well. Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes to allow the salt to draw out moisture.

Prepare the Pickling Liquid

In a separate bowl or jar, combine the vinegar, black peppercorns, thyme, and whole Scotch bonnet pepper.

Combine and Pack

After 30 minutes, pack the vegetable mixture tightly into a clean jar, pressing down to remove air pockets. Pour the pickling liquid over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Seal and Store

Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before consuming. For best flavor, let it sit for a few days.
