3 - 4 Garlic cloves halved or crushed
1 Cup water
1/4 Cup Sherry vinegar
2 Tbsp Whole peppercorn

Place in a large pot the water, vinegar, shallot, garlic and peppercorn. Place the kale in a steamer insert and place in the pot. Lid and bring to boiling.

Once the water is boiling, turn down the heat to low and allow to steam for 5 - 6 minutes.

If you like, serve with a little butter and fresh pepper on top.

Add the cranberries and walnuts, give it a stir and then pour in the syrup. Turn the heat down to medium and place a lid on the pot.

Allow the carrots to cook for approximately 45 minutes stirring only occasionally (if the heat is not to high the syrup will liquify and should not stick to the pot.)
