Method

  1. Put the cabbage in a wide shallow pan with the butter, apple, bay leaf and cloves. Cook, stirring, until the cabbage starts to wilt. Add the vinegar (stand back and don't breathe in until the steam subsides), then continue to stir and cook until the vinegar has almost all disappeared. Add the sugar and stir until it has completely dissolved - be careful not to let it burn. Sprinkle with walnuts to serve. This will freeze well but let it thaw completely before gently reheating in a pan or microwave.

    Had this last night with Chilli & Coriander sausages and mash and it was lovely (left out the walnuts). Have frozen the rest for Christmas Dinner. I would suggest that you match large red cabbage to large apple or small to small you could end up with an unbalanced dish.

    Made this for a dinner party and served with coq-au-vin. Guests loved it but I di change things a bit, I used a little ground clove as i found i had run out of whole ones also added a little extra sugar(to taste) and finally cooked it in the oven in a casserole dish. I found this way it did not need as much attention as having to stand and stir. Ofcourse it takes longer but was very successful.

    Was part of an elaborate Xmas menu and went very well with the roast beef brisket or the grilled pollack - I had replaced regular vinegar for the cider vinegar which I think was a mistake as for my taste it turned out be a wee bit too sour -- but my husband loved it. Verdict - cider vinegar would be better!

    if you make this in advance and freeze it, do the walnuts go soggy?

    This is in the freezer now waiting for Christmas Day. I've put a message on it to remind me to add the toasted walnuts when the time comes!

    Made this today to accompany a roast chicken dinner & will be making again! I used half a small red cabbage so it was balanced with the apple. I also added a small onion, which I fried off first for about five mins unil it softened, before adding the rst of the ingredients. I was unsure if it would be too sweet with the amount of sugar(plus the apple), but it balanced out the vinegar well & I'm glad I didn't try reducing the amount. Cooking it as shown leaves a littlecrunch in the cabbage (which is what I like) but if you don't like that, you'll probably want to cook it slowly for longer. Quick, easy & very nice.
