Believe it or not, cabbage can be frozen! It works similar to beans. Once you freeze it, you will not be able to use it for things such coleslaw and sauerkraut. But there is a recipe for freezer coleslaw! If you are going to to make things that require crunch cabbage, make those first, then you can store what is left for use in soups, stews, stir-fry and other things where the crispness isn't required.
First dump your cabbage in a pot of salted boiling water, allow to cook till it starts to look limp, dump in a colander and let cool. Then spread it out on a cookie sheet and pop in the freezer, uncovered. Allow a few hours to freeze then pull it out and pop in a freezer bag and into the freezer. Just pull some out for any cooked recipes that call for cabbage.
