We've grown half a dozen lovely Red Cabbages, well five now, as we've now eaten most of one!! We don't particularly like it pickled, was wondering if it can be frozen and the best method, any suggestions please?

Thanks for that Yorkie, knew it would be on here somewhere, however if anyone has anything to add. it I would be welcome !!

Another (related) question--- how long does it keep for, frozen, please?

I have enough pickled cabbage and like the idea of it being frozen and ready to cook 

[Yorkie]

I've had frozen cooked red cabbage keep for months in the freezer.  Would have thought you'd be OK for several months at least with it just blanched.

Thank you 

When it eventually stops raining I can pull one up at the plot

I'm going to cook a bit of one of mine today with some apple. It's good to know that the rest of it can be frozen, as they've grown quite big this year

[japagow]

Is unblanched red cabbage just as good?


I have a friend who hasn't blanched his...

That's given me an idea 

I could freeze mine with apple ready to cook at c****m** maybe

I'd be inclined to cook it till nearly done........then all you have to do is microwave it on that day, it will save a lot of hassle

And yes, you could be right Mumofstig.. I'll have to plan better, as I expect to be ttransporting said cabbage to my daughter's at some point
