  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!

  Made this last weekend as a "test run" for Xmas Eve... everyone loved it and it reminds me of the way my grandmother used to cook "Rotkraut" back home in Germany. I needed to add a bit or brown sugar but I guess that's individual taste.

  Another great recipe. Made in advance as suggested, and enjoyed the time it freed up on Christmas day. Better than the M&S ready-made equivalent!

  Made this according to the recipe, and it was horrible - ended up in the bin. It's a shame, as have made red cabbage for Christmas before which was lovely but unfortunately couldn't find the recipe and thought this would be the same. Definitely a big no.

  This was ok, I wasn't impressed as I thought it lacked flavour despite putting more port and vinegar in, and deffo needs a tablespoon of sugar. The bf liked it though. An ok recipe
