This book, by Mike and Nancy Bubel, takes you from designing and building your own root cellar to practical tips for preserving different kinds of fruits and vegetables (the list is loooong).

Another great thing about (red) cabbage is that you can use it to make your own pH indicator! As you can tell from this photo, you get some beautiful colors and a fairly distinct range. These sites will hook you up with a procedure for making your own and an explanation of how it works.
