PICKLED RED CABBAGE
Soft, soused, slow-braised red cabbage has been part of my Christmas table forever. I will never forsake it (and do check out the tangy version with cranberries) but I have come to the conclusion that this pickle is now every bit as essential to my season's eatings. It's barely any work to make and is so much better than the pickled red cabbage that you buy from a shop. I do think it makes a difference using the raw, unfiltered vinegar, which is labelled rather tautologically 'apple cider vinegar', but if all you have is regular cider vinegar, go ahead; indeed, any vinegar would work here. I pair the cider vinegar with actual cider but should you not want to use cider itself, then replace it with apple juice. This doesn't make a huge amount, but it is a condiment rather than a vegetable accompaniment, and is as wonderful with the Norwegian Roast Pork Ribs as it is with cheese and cold cuts, or, indeed, any leftovers that might need a bit of a zhuzh. Anyway, I can't help thinking that you will soon find yourself making up batches of this ludicrously purple pickle in regular rotation. You need to make this 2 days (or up to 3 weeks) before you eat it. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

Steps:
- Sterilise a 750ml / 3 cup (although a 1 litre / 1 quart one will be fine) preserving jar. I consider a jar sterilised if it's come straight out of the dishwasher and not so much as a finger has touched the inside of it. But you can just hand wash the jar in soapy liquid, rinse it well, and dry it in a 140°C/120°C Fan/275°F oven. Leave to cool before filling. Remove the core, then slice the red cabbage finely and put into a colander. Sprinkle over the salt and gently toss the cabbage to get it all coated, then leave over a bowl for 3 hours. Do not be tempted to leave out this step. It makes all the difference. Make the pickling liquid as soon as the cabbage is in the colander. Put the cider and vinegar into a saucepan, and add the sugar, peppercorns, juniper berries, mustard seeds and thyme. Peel both the garlic and ginger, cut them into thinnish slices, and add them to the saucepan. Give everything a good stir, bring gently to the boil, then turn up the heat, and let it bubble away for 2 minutes, switch the heat off and leave everything in the pan to cool. When the cabbage has had its 3 hours, get out a large chopping board and lay a tea towel you don't mind staining on top of it. Take the colander to the sink and rinse the cabbage really well under the cold tap. Squeeze as much water as you can out of it, then spread it out on the tea towel and wrap it and pat it dry. Put the cabbage into your sterilised jar, pushing it down so that it is tightly packed. Strain the pickling liquid into a jug, using a fine-mesh sieve so nothing drops through, and pour over the cabbage, then press down on the cabbage to submerge it all. Put it into the fridge and leave for at least 2 days before eating it. In theory, it will keep happily for 3 weeks, but it is unlikely that you will have any left by then. Always remember to take it out of the fridge in time to get the chill off it before eating.

Steps:
- Finely slice red cabbage, preferably with a mandoline. Place cabbage in a bowl, and add salt and vinegar. Using your hands to mix thoroughly, squeeze cabbage until it begins to wilt and get juicy. Let stand for 30 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste. Add a little extra salt and vinegar if you are planning on serving the cabbage the following day, since the flavor fades as it marinates.

QUICK-PICKLED RED CABBAGE (ATCHARA)
Sour flavors are important in Filipino cooking, and quick pickles both heighten the sourness and serve as palate-cleansers, balancing and cutting through fattier dishes. This cold-flash-pickling method works with all kinds of vegetables (green papaya, radishes, and carrots are traditional), but red cabbage is an easy and gorgeous place to start. Store in the refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Tips
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage pickle evenly.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
- Be sure to pack the cabbage tightly into the jar. This will help to keep the cabbage submerged in the pickling liquid.
- If you don't have a weight to keep the cabbage submerged, you can use a clean rock or a bag of beans.
- Store the pickled cabbage in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the cabbage and keep it from spoiling.
Conclusion
Ginger pickled red cabbage is a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. The cabbage is slightly sweet and tangy, with a hint of ginger heat. It's the perfect way to add a little something extra to your next meal.
