made this with my mom today in fact, sorry I don't have any pictures of the completed project

Turkish pickled cabbage - Turşusu

You'll need:
Mason Jars with good lids
White Vinegar
Red Cabbage
Garlic
Hot Pepper of any variety (used jalapenos this time)
Salt
Dill (Optional)
Carrots (Optional)
Whatever other shit is good for pickling (Optional)

Try to get as fresh ingredients as you can so that they don't go bad during the pickling

Steps:
1. Chop up your ingredients - Red cabbage is better in BIG chunks, 2 inches wide and as long as you like
Peel your garlic and half your carrots in both directions - you can slice the garlic if you want
Slice your peppers however big you prefer, I like em thick

2. Boil your jars:
- pretty simple. put your jars in boiling water and let them sit in there for a bit.
you should also boil your lids, but no need to go for as long
make sure you let them cool down a bit before moving on to next step

3. This step will change based on how big your jars are, we used 1 Liter/1 Quart jars so scale up or down based on what you have:
- Shove your cabbage, 4 or five cloves of garlic, and a handful of pepper slices. add carrots or whatever if you did that too.

4. add salt and dill
2 teaspoons of salt for a quart jar is what we decided to try this time, but we always forget what we did last time so itll be up to you to experiment some.
also a teaspoon of dill if you want

5. add vinegar
1/3 of the jar full of vinegar usually does well, and it transfers between sizes :D
fill to near the top with water, but leave a bit of space up there.

6. final steps
Close up your lids, throw it in the fridge for 2-3 weeks until you've got a nice purple color
open up and enjoy on sandwiches or whatever
