The amount of garlic depends on the desired spice of the future snack. The minimum amount is 2-4 cloves for the indicated amount of food.
Step 2
All prepared vegetables are placed in a large convenient bowl, mixed thoroughly and lightly crushed. Last but not least, pepper, cloves and bay leaves are sent to them.

It is best to use small cans for such a cabbage snack for the winter, which are eaten at one time.

Pickled cabbage "Provencal" for the winter is almost ready. The boiling marinade is poured over the vegetables into jars, after which the snack is left at room temperature until it cools completely for 7-8 hours. Then you can cover it with a lid and send it to the refrigerator for storage. The hostess will need to spend only about 1 hour on this simple recipe.
