1. Peel off the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut into quarters and slice out the core. Use a sharp knife or the slicing attachment of a food processor to thinly slice the cabbage.
2. Heat the butter in a large saucepan, then tip in the onions and gently fry until softened, about 5 mins. Add the orange zest to the pan along with the cinnamon stick, then cook for 1 min more. Add the shredded cabbage, then pour over the port, red wine vinegar, orange juice and 150ml water. Bring up to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for 45 mins-1 hr until the cabbage is softened.

Get ahead

You can make the cabbage up to 2 days in advance and keep it in the fridge, or freeze for up to 1 month. Add a little water before heating through in a saucepan or microwave.

  Can only say excellent. The best recipe for red cabbage that have ever tried. Did add a spoonful of balsamic vinegar as suggested by above comment.

  I have made this for christmas this year and frozen it. Before freezing it tasted (and smelled) lovely. I will be adding some raisins, when heating up, as suggested above too!
