Procedura

1. Cut the cabbage head into 4–5 cm chunks with the core attached so the leaves hold together, slice the beetroot² into 3–4 mm pieces, and peel and halve the garlic³.

2. Sterilize a 3 l jar over steam for 20 minutes or in the oven at 120 °C for 15 minutes.

3. Layer the cabbage, beetroot², and garlic³ in the jar, adding the bay leaf and peppercorns, and pack down firmly.

4. Bring the water (about 900 ml) to a boil with the salt⁶ and sugar⁷, remove from the heat, and stir in the oil and vinegar⁵.

5. Pour the hot marinade over the cabbage to the rim, place a weight on top, and cover with cheesecloth.

6. Leave at 18–22 °C for 3 days until the cabbage is pink and slightly sour, then seal with a lid and refrigerate.

7. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
