Pickled Red Cabbage Recipe
Ingredients:
- Red Cabbage
- Salt
- Spiced Vinegar (See Recipe for Quick Spiced Vinegar)
Method:
- Cut off and discard the outer discoloured leaves from the cabbage.
- Quarter and remove the tough inner stalk. Shred the cabbage, wash and drain well.
- Layer in a basin with salt between layers, ending with a layer of salt.
- Leave for 24 hours.
- Wash thoroughly in cold water and drain well.
- Pack into clean,sterilised jars and pour in cold, spiced vinegar.
- Cover the jars and label with contents and date.
Note: Ready after 1 week but if you keep it longer than 10 – 12 weeks it will loose its crispness. You can use the same recipe for Pickled White Cabbage.

How nice to find a recipe which is not only easy but also has not left out the washing off of the excess salt. My vinegar was very strong so although I drained after washing I did not pat dry. Result absolutely gorgeous.
