  • 1 green cabbage, about 1.2 kg (2 2/3 lb), finely sliced with a knife or mandolin

Method

  1. Put the cabbage, water, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and hot pepper into a large pot. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes or until the cabbage is al dente. Stir a few times while cooking.
  2. Meanwhile, perform the steps in the “Method for Preparing Jars and Lids,” found here.
  3. Remove the cabbage with a slotted spoon or silicone tongs, and distribute among the still-hot, sterilized jars to 2 cm (7/8 in) of their tops, then pour in the liquid to 1 cm (3/8 in) of the tops*.

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
