Red cabbage, in season at the moment, is particularly beneficial as it contains significantly more protective antioxidants than white cabbage.
1k red cabbage
2 x Granny Smith apples (or similar)
20g salt
tablespoon juniper berries roughly ground in pestle & mortar
Very finely shred the red cabbage and place in a bowl.
Add the salt & massage the mixture until you have plenty of liquid.
Core the apples, finely chop & add to the cabbage with the juniper berries.
Pack into a wide-mouthed jar pushing down well. Ensure the vegetables are covered with liquid adding a little water if necessary.
Weigh down to keep the vegetables submerged, cover with a cloth.
Ferment in a warm place away from sunlight for 1 – 2 weeks. Check regularly to ensure the mixture stays submerged.
When it tastes to your liking, loosely fasten lid & store in a cool dry place. Unopened will last for at least 6 months.
