2 quarts shredded cabbage (about one medium head).

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 Tablespoons salt
Combine chopped vegetables and sprinkle with salt. Let stand 4 to 6 hours in the refrigerator. Drain well and squeeze out most of the liquid
Combine the following ingredients and simmer 10 minutes. Use a pot large enough to put the vegetable mix in later.
2 cups cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons celery seeds
2 teaspoons mustard seed
Add vegetables to vinegar-sugar-spice mixture and simmer another 10 minutes. Bring to a boil. Then pack, boiling hot, into clean, heated canning jars, leaving only a 1/8 inch head space. Place canning lids and rings on jars and tighten.
