You can store pickled cabbage with beets and garlic throughout the winter in the refrigerator or in the basement.

Marinating rules
We clean and rinse the beets. According to the recipe, this vegetable needs to be grated on a large-mesh grater. Then dump into boiling water to blanch. After five minutes, place in a colander.
Remove the top and green leaves from the cabbage. For slicing, you can use a regular knife or a special shredding knife with two blades. We grate the carrots in the same way as the beets. We remove the outer “clothes” and film from the garlic, chop it with a knife or put it through a press, as you like.
Place the vegetables in a large bowl and mix well, then place in a container for marinating.
Then we prepare the marinade. Pour water into a saucepan, add salt, sugar, and oil. Then bay leaf, allspice and vinegar.
Boil for three minutes and immediately pour in the vegetables. Half a day later, the appetizer is ready.
Delicious Pelyustka
In many regions of Russia, cabbage is called pelyustka, which means petal. The recipe has exactly the same name. There are no difficulties in the recipe for pickled cabbage with beets, so any novice housewife can prepare it.
We will marinate immediately in a three-liter jar using the following ingredients:

Preparing vegetables:
- According to the recipe for pickled cabbage with beets, we need to cut the peeled cabbage into large pieces, just enough to fit into the neck of the jar.
- The beets are cut into slices, and the garlic cloves are cut into halves.
If you use hot pepper, you need to cut it lengthwise into two parts. - Place vegetables in a jar in layers: first cabbage, then beets and garlic, and pieces of hot pepper (if you like). We do this until the container is filled to the very top. We tamp each layer.
- Then add vinegar and vegetable oil to the jar.
