I only used a quarter of a red cabbage as the shelf life for this is not long. sliced it thinly then layered it with salt, covered and left for 24 hours!
Rinsed it thoroughly, when it came out of the bowl it left a beautiful coloured liquid behind!
Spun it in my salad spinner to dry it, and as you can see the water is now blue??
Packed it into jars. Sorry its out of focus!
Then poured the pickled vinegar over it.
Isn't the colour gorgeous!
As simple as that!!! _________________ "If we reduce the amount of stuff we allow to accumulate in our lives, we won't have to organise it"

Lovely. My mother used to have a recipe for cooking it in shreds, where it came out very sweet and rich. No idea how she cooked it but it was lovely as part of a festive meal. _________________ A woman needs to feel loved to have sex,

My sister told me of a recipe that she had at Christmas it sounds yummy and as I have some left I think I will look on the web for a recipe and have it with the sunday roast!!! _________________ "If we reduce the amount of stuff we allow to accumulate in our lives, we won't have to organise it"

if you want to cook it the best way is very slowly,
shred finely and place in an oven dish with a lid (or in a slow cooker )
add butter, diced cooking apple, brown sugar, salt, pepper,
viniger and a drop of white wine, give it a good stir and place in the oven and cook sllllooooowwwwllllyyyy, with the joint if having a roast.
the sugar will caramilise, the apples will melt and the vinigar will keep its colour. _________________ Never trust a skinny chef
