    Haitian Pikliz pronounced pick-leez is a very spicy cabbage slaw that is on every table for every meal in Haiti.  A condiment of sorts that they put on everything.  It is spicy and delicious and we clearly see what it is so popular there.  This is best when the flavors have a chance to meld together for a few days so plan ahead when making your Haitian pikliz. A quart size canning jar works great for this recipe.   Enjoy!
