• 4 Scotch bonnet
• 1 Onion
• 1 Bell pepper

Method

1. Shred — Shred the cabbage, carrot, onion and pepper very finely.
2. Add the heat — Slice the scotch bonnets — leave the seeds in for authentic pikliz.
3. Pack — Press everything tightly into a jar with the cloves, pepper and salt.
4. Cover with vinegar — Pour vinegar and lime juice over until fully submerged.
5. Wait — Seal and leave at least 3 days before opening; it keeps for months and sharpens with time.
