Uncooked Cabbage Pickle
This recipe is sent by a grandmother who has brought up a family in the country, and is a teal authority on simple home cooking. Cut up your cabbage (or cauliflower if you like), overnight, and sprinkle with salt. In the morning, wash off the salt and drain for half a day. Then put it into the jars, and sprinkle some allspice in the bottom and in the middle and at the top. Cover it with the best vinegar, filling the jars to the top. Tie up and keep in a cool place. As she says, "no cooking and no shrinkage." At the same time as she sent this, people were complaining about their jars full of pickle shrinking till the jars were only. half full! It was something to do with the cooking, they thought, but the reason was never really discovered. Has anyone else had this. trouble?
