  I used red kale instead of red cabbage and left out the apple but add more cranberry sauce. It was still delicious.

  I made this for a student supper party, and apart from taking longer then expected cutting up the pork, worked fantastically and tasted absolutely amazing! Definitely going to recommend for a christmas supper!

  I've cooked this twice now and it's been fab both times. The second time I couldn't get shoulder of pork so my butcher suggested front part of belly (next to the shoulder anatomically) � it was just as good, possibly better.

  Absolutely delicious. I used pork fillet, which was meltingly tender. Will definitely put this in my 'favourites' list.

  I cooked this as a low hassle, no last minute panic dish for New Year's Day. I used pork fillet instead of shoulder, which worked just fine - very tender and tasty. Certainly a dish to cook again. I served Boulangere potatoes, broccoli and roast fennel with it.

  I don't get it. Knowing that cabbage is rather bulky I only used a small one 550kg. I have ended up with loads of red cabbage: it has not cooked down as much as I thought it would. On the other hand however, having followed the cooking instructions my apples have gone to mulch and I am left with only the peel to show that there were any in the pot. Looks nothing like the picture. Taste is ok, sans plus. Must be me....

  Great dish and really easy, especially for a supper with friends as you don't spend all night in the kitchen. I was left with a portion of the red cabbage which i've frozen and can use as a side dish with something else - brilliant!

  Ruth, I wonder if your pan was too small? If so the cabbage might not be able to cook down in the liquid as it should. The apples need to be peeled as the skins can be tough, but if you use a good eating apple such as cox it should not break up too much. Do have another go if you can bear it!

  I love this recipe and I have made it serveral times even for guests. The key thing I found was finding good quality shoulder of pork.
