How long do we leave it till it's pickled ? My aunt uses a recipe passed down through generations of her family, ( my dad's brothers wife) last Xmas she had made pickle cabbage for new Year but also said anything on the kitchen bench you can nibble/ snack on if you wake up. I'm 55 but have always been hyperactive and sleep only 3 hours at a time , she's 92 and I felt so bad when she got up at 6am and heard me chomping her cabbage. And I had just left the night light on so it didn't wake anyone, apparently my chomping and mmmm ! Oh wow, OMG! Mmmm delicious! Unconscious noises woke her up, I felt really bad for waking her up too, funny how when you haven't seen family in 45 years you all fall back into your rolls from childhood, I'm the youngest, apart from my children, who were mortified by my actions as much as I was. However she is a farmers daughter and a brilliant cook / baker/ chef, she and our Grannie cooked for QE2 many years ago on a highland royal tour, and my aunt and cousin were invited to her last garden party in Scotland, .y Aunt and Dad's mum also received a letter thanking them for the most delicious wild Scots pine smoked Salmon caught by my Uncle and smoked by him and Aunty Betty. I have never pickled anything, am useless at cooking and I found your recipe as I want to make a bowl of pickled red cabbage for her. Hers was chunky but it was supposed to be left from the 15 December till new Year. I bought a red cabbage Today, hers tasted spicy, is that from the mustard? I really want to take a jar of my attempt up for her for these Xmas/ hogmanay, I'm useless at chopping, would a decent cheese graters slicing but work? I don't have time for ordering a new one, also if I shred it thin will it pickle quick enough? . Your recipe looks the most traditional and I don't want to ring my cuz because well I ate the entire bowl leaving only a couple of tablespoons of cabbage and I want to make amends ❤. I tried another recipe a few weeks ago but it developed mold on top and looked horrible. Should I cover it with cling film or tinfoil? Oh gosh I hope you see my comment and can give advice. I can't chop that fine as I don't really cook .
@@SiennaArtsandCrafts To be honest, it never lasts very long in our house and is usually demolished within a couple of days. I think it would last for about 5 days in the fridge, but I have not tested that theory. Cover with cling film, not foil as that may react with the vinegar. You could use a peeler to get the cabbage nice and thin but that may take a while. Chunky is also fine if you chop with a knife. I just like mine thin. This is not a pickle that you put in a jar and store for weeks. It is more of a side dish to have with things like cold meats. I like it on Boxing Day after you have had lots of rich food on Christmas Day. I hope you like it. I am making mine on Christmas Eve to be eaten between Boxing Day and New Year.
So sorry, 2 yr later, where and what is it called? I need to make pickle cabbage for my aunt and family after an insomniac night when I ate an entire bowl of this, it was supposed to be for new years day. It was chunkier but my aunts 92, and she added other herbs or spices, garlic maybe I don't know, but I want to take a jar of this up to Scotland for her to make amends. She wasn't cross, but maybe inside she thought I acted selfish so I want to give back Only problem is I'm the worst cook in the universe. Gloves would really help. And any other tips please.
