8-9 c. finely sliced red cabbage
1 c. thinly sliced red or sweet onions
1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
1 tsp. celery seeds
2 bay leaves
2 tsp. chopped garlic
2 c. water
1 c. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. salt

Mix cabbage with onions, mustard and celery seeds, bay leaves, and garlic. Boil the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.

Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage, tossing well. The liquid should cover the cabbage. If it doesn't, make up some more vinegar- water marinade. Put the cabbage in a covered jar or bowl. Refrigerate for 2 days, stirring occasionally. It will keep up to 1 week.
