1/2 small head of cabbage, core removed, then cut into two-inch by half-inch strips
Preparation:

2. Put all the vegetables (as many as fit at one time) into a large strainer basket and pour one quart of boiling water for each strainer basket full, over the cut vegetables, drain well, and then put these into the crock or jar, continuing until all have been rinsed with and then drained from their boiling water.
3. Cover loosely, stir the vegetables every six hours with a large spoon that has been rinsed with boiling water, and the vegetables are ready to eat after eighteen hours. Serve the vegetables drained, and at room temperature.
