Can anyone recommend a good red cabbage for pickling going to have my first crack at it this year.

I grow "Red Jewel" it's a really solid cabbage, seems to store quite well pickled for a red variety and is really crunchy.

No doubt a list will now follow of a lot of other varieties!

Thanks DD I've never grown red cabbage so recommendations are welcome.

Another good one I've grown is "Ruby Ball".

Grew Red Drumhead last year. Very impressed.

[DD.]

That's the third of the three I've grown!

[arugula]

I thought somehow you might have grown them too DD.

Red Drumhead is the "staple" red cabbage, re them for years. Not sure why I went on to "Ruby Ball".

I know I had a good reason for trying "Red Jewel", I'm sure it will come to me.

Ah - that's right - the seeds were free!
