#443 - Pickled Cabbage

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 small head of cabbage (or 1/2 of a large head of cabbage)
1/2 tsp. salt
3 heaping TBSP white sugar
3 TBSP cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/2 of a green pepper (finely chopped)
cold water (enough to cover the cabbage)

Grate the cabbage into a bowl. Add salt, white sugar, vinegar, green pepper, celery seed--stir everything until well mixed. Add enough water to cover everything, then stir completely again. Taste--add more sugar if too sour or more vinegar if too sweet. Refrigerate.
