  6. Add 1 sparkling pepper (the one who does not like spicy - just do not put this pepper). Fill the jar to the top. Again lay out the bay leaf, 3 peas of allspice and (optional) another “Spark”. In a liter of water at room temperature, pour 2 tsp. salt, stir well (to taste, the brine should be slightly more saltier than the usual taste). Pour the brine into the cabbage. Usually a liter of water is enough for this volume.

  7. With a fork in several places, we deeply pierce the cabbage mass. Some air will come out and the water level will be just below the cabbage. Add water to the edge of the can.

  8. Set the jar in a bowl (the brine will drain) and leave at room temperature for three days. At this time, twice a day, it is necessary to pierce the cabbage with a fork so that the air generated during the fermentation process escapes. We cover the jar with a lid and put it in the refrigerator.
