I love to pickle red cabbage because of the magical way it turns a vivid red when it comes into contact with the vinegar, but you can customise this recipe to the ingredients you have available. You can replace the red cabbage with a hard white Dutch-style cabbage or a spicy Chinese pak choi cabbage. Swap the fennel for caraway, cumin or coriander; the chilli for mustard seeds and the vinegar for wine or rice vinegar.
For this recipe you will need two 500ml/18fl oz sterilised jars. See Recipe Tips for information on sterilising.
