Quick Pickled Red Cabbage
Description
The Quick Pickled Red Cabbage recipe begins with finely shredded purple cabbage combined with a pickling liquid made from apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, water, kosher salt, and caraway seeds. Heating the vinegar mixture dissolves the sugar and infuses the brine with the spices, which then permeate the cabbage as it soaks. The pickled cabbage maintains a lively crunch balanced by a tangy, slightly sweet flavor profile. It is stored in sealed glass jars in the refrigerator and can keep for up to a month. Over time, its flavors deepen, making it a versatile side or topping for a variety of dishes.
The pickled cabbage adds moisture and acidity to rich or fatty foods, helping to balance heavier flavors. It's also useful for adding texture and color contrast in salads and sandwiches. Preparing the cabbage in advance allows the flavors to develop more fully and ensures it is well submerged in the brine to maintain freshness. Pack the cabbage tightly in jars to maximize the amount of pickled cabbage per serving.
Ingredients
- ½ purple cabbage shredded or thinly sliced, or red cabbage
- 2 cup apple cider vinegar

Notes
