Swedish 1 2 3 Vinegar Recipes

SWEDISH 1-2-3 VINEGAR

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat.
• Stir until all the sugar is completely dissolved.
• Remove from heat and let cool.
• Pour the cooled vinegar into a jar, seal and refrigerate.
• Allow to marinate six hours, or overnight.

3-2-1-1 VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, mustard and water.

SWEDISH SWEET MUSTARD

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in the container of a blender, blend for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula and process for 30 seconds longer. The mustard should be a little thicker than heavy cream. Store in glass jar, well-sealed, in the refrigerator and let the flavors marry for at least a day before using. The longer it sits, the better it tastes; it also will get thicker and more yellow.

SWEDISH COLESLAW

Steps:

• Mix shredded cabbage, bell pepper, onion, mustard seed, and celery seed in a bowl with a cover. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, bring sugar, vinegar, and oil to a boil, and pour over cabbage while hot. Do NOT stir cabbage mixture until cold.
• Cover and place in the refrigerator. This will keep for several days.

SWEDISH SWEET SOUP

Steps:

• Place the tapioca in a bowl with enough water to cover, and soak 8 hours, or overnight.
• Fill a large saucepan with the 2 quarts water, and mix in the prunes, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, and stir in the soaked tapioca. Stirring often, cook 30 minutes, or until tapioca is clear and prunes are tender. Mix in the lemon juice and salt at the end of the cook time. Chill until completely cooled before serving.

SWEDISH PICKLED CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• Put sliced cucumbers into a bowl.
• Stir vinegar, sugar, water, and salt together in a separate bowl to dissolve the sugar and salt; pour over the cucumbers. Sprinkle parsley over the cucumbers.
• Refrigerate cucumbers 3 hours to overnight.

SWEDISH RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add choped apples and onion sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cabbage and cook until slightly wilted, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Stir in sugar, cider vinegar, salt, cloves and allspice. Cover and cook until cabbage is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Uncover, add dry red wine and jelly and cook 5 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled. (Cabbage can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat over low heat if serving warm.)
