No. 3910 — Pickled Shredded Cabbage
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3910 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Shred cabbage finely, salt and allow the liquid to drain.
Pack into a jar and pour over a mixture of 3 glasses vinegar, 12 glasses water and 1 pound sugar for every ten heads cabbage, without boiling the mixture.
Historical editorial note: Highly diluted vinegar and no controlled acidity are unsafe as a modern cabbage-preservation recipe.
