Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1 ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 ¼ cup water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Slice the cabbage in half. Remove the triangular core by cutting two slits on either side. Discard the core.
  • Slice the halves lengthwise to create long shreds of the cabbage. Slice as thinly as possible - you don't want any huge pieces of cabbage. (For best results, try using a mandoline instead of a knife.)
  • Combine vinegar, salt, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved.
  • Place sliced cabbage into a jar, packing it tightly with your hands or a spoon. Pour the brine over the cabbage, adding enough so that the cabbage is completely submerged.
  • Let cabbage and brine cool completely at room temperature without adding a lid. You can seal in a jar and refrigerate for a few weeks or you can follow the traditional water bath canning process for long term storage.
