I usually make this recipe for xmas dinner. It never fails to please with everyone from grandparents to children enjoying it - never make them eat boiled cabbage again!

Preparation

  1. Peel the outer layers off the red cabbage
  2. chop it into quarters (through the base)
  3. Cut the hard stem part out of the bottom of each quarter
  4. Slice it into long thin strips
  5. Peel, core and chop the apple
  6. dice the onions
  7. Mix the cabbage, apple and onion in a very large pan.
  8. Sprinkle on the allspice and then the sugar
  9. Pour on the vinegar and then the cider
  10. If the liquid level isn’t visible below the veg use water (I used 300ml) to top up until the liquid surface becomes just visible
  11. Put the slice of butter on top
  12. Bring to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, put a lid on the pan and leave to simmer for between 60 – 90 mins
  13. Drain with sieve and serve.
