HOMEMADE PICKLED PURPLE CABBAGE
I love pickled vegetables because they enhance the longevity and adaptability of fresh produce. Consider the resilient purple cabbage, already a long-lasting vegetable (it can chill in the fridge for up to two months). But pickling takes it to a whole new level, infusing it with a vibrant, tangy crunch that can elevate salads, tacos, and bowls.
What's more, purple cabbage isn't just a condiment; it's a nutritional powerhouse, boasting high levels of vitamin C. Plus, with the ever-rising grocery bills, it's one of the best deals for antioxidants per unit cost. Currently, I've got a whole head of purple cabbage working its magic in about four different dishes. 😋
Recipe to make Pickled Purple Cabbage:
Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil.
Remove from stove and add 1.5 cups vinegar like ACV.
Add 1.5 tsp salt and 1.5 tsp maple syrup for sweetness. Let cool.
Fill up your jars with cabbage and pour over liquid etc.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before enjoying.
Tip: Pickled cabbage lasts approximately 6 - 8 weeks in the fridge.
