Pickled Red Cabbage. — This pickle may be made in August or September. Choose a cabbage with a firm heart and of a deep red colour. Strip away the outer leaves and cut the cabbage into very thin shreds. Spread these on a dish, sprinkle salt well over them, and leave them for twenty-four hours. Squeeze the salt entirely from them. The more thoroughly this is done the better will be the colour of the cab¬ bage. Put them in a jar, cover with cold boiled vinegar

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
