Instructions

Prepare Vegetables

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, onion, minced garlic, and sliced Scotch bonnet peppers.

Make the Pickling Liquid

In a separate bowl or saucepan, mix the white vinegar, water, salt, sugar, dried thyme, and black pepper until the salt and sugar are dissolved.

Combine

Pour the pickling liquid over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to ensure that all the vegetables are coated with the liquid.

Pack and Refrigerate

Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight jar or container. Press down to pack it tightly.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to develop. Pikliz can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Serve

Use Pikliz as a spicy condiment or side dish with Haitian dishes such as griot, chicken, or rice.
