    I thought it was a bit bland but I did alter the quantities a bit. I perked it up with some port and extra prunes.

    I didn't have any red wine vingear so I used 1tbsp white wine vinegar instead and a couple of tbsp of Port. I though it tasted nice, but was a little bland, but there was so much we didn't eat it all on Christmas Day and we froze the rest. This was the secret ingredient! All it needed was reheating gently in a pan so it didn't burn and it was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. I will probably try it with the red wine vinegar if I have some available next time (although the port is still going in!!!)

    Tasted fantastic. However i cooked it for over an hour, covered in the over with a little butter to let the red cabbage really cook and soften!
