@dgrubb67526 Oh you are very welcome. We did that too. And we used to picked small apples with the cabbage

My grandparents made a 50 gallon crock full each fall, placed in the root celler to ferment. Used in soups, placed on patatos served with our own homemade sausage and of course ruben sandwitches. Bierocks were made during the summer with cabbage during the winter with pickled cabbage. Most of the time during the winter the pickled cabbage was rinsed and left to soak in plain water to get some of the salt out of it. We even pickled the cores, which were treated like a treat when we visted.

@dgrubb67526 we never pickled the cores but we ate them fresh- they were crunchy! Thanks for sharing, it reminds me how my nanny was making big barrels of pickled cabbage. SHe felt good having it, it was her security fund: in case the war or hunger occurs again, she has food in her basement :)

@chfdotcom just becareful with the vinegar :3 have something sweet to balance it out.

[chfdotcom]

@snowblazer12 I will try it next week and report back. It does sound like a lot of vinegar, so I might resort to making two batches - one by your recipe, and another one with a bit of water and honey.

@chfdotcom also gives the carrots/radish a nice ginger flavor. and of course a bit of salt. And pepper if you desire. usually you let this pickle over night or depending on the size of the carrots and radish.

[snowblazer12]

@chfdotcom Its really simple. You prepare the carrots and daikon radish to the size you like it, usually it is Julienne. Then in a bowl you put the carrot and radish in and fill it with vinegar. some people like a mix of vinegar with apple cider vinegar for the sweetness it gives, but adding sugar works just fine.

some tips for more layered flavoring is slice some ginger thinly so while the carrots/radish are being pickled in the vinegar the ginger becomes pickled but also gives

@snowblazer12 DO you have the recipe for pickled carrots/daikon radish? I'd love to try
