Zubereitung von Pickled Red Cabbage

**Prep the Cabbage (Heirloom Method):** Generously sprinkle 1 medium (about 1.5 lbs) red cabbage, thinly sliced, with 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt.
**Salt and Drain:** Place the salted cabbage in a colander set over a bowl. Let it stand at room temperature for 30 hours (or overnight in the fridge).
**Sun-Drying (Optional):** After draining off excess liquid, you can optionally spread the cabbage thinly on a clean cloth and let it sit in the sun for a few hours (to help draw out more moisture).
**Modern Method Drain:** After 30 hours (or overnight refrigeration), thoroughly drain the cabbage, pressing out any excess moisture.
**Dry Cabbage:** Squeeze the cabbage dry using a clean kitchen towel.
**Pack Jars:** Pack the dried cabbage tightly into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
**Make the Brine:** In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups apple cider vinegar, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
**Simmer Brine:** Bring the brine to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 7 minutes.
**Cool and Pour:** Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly. Carefully pour the hot brine over the cabbage in the jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
**Seal Jars:** Remove air bubbles by gently tapping the jars. Wipe the rims clean and seal the jars tightly.
**Refrigerate:** Refrigerate for at least 3 days to allow the flavors to meld.
**Enjoy:** Serve and enjoy! Your pickled red cabbage will keep for up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator.
