Cabbage Preserves for Winter
Description
Winter preserves at home. This classic cabbage canning recipe for winter should appeal to you. No wonder our moms and grandmas have been making preserves from it for generations. Quick, easy, and simple! You can adjust the amount of spices however you like. For example, one of my friends adds ginger instead of garlic—a completely different flavor. Serve at the table or store in the pantry.
