Sweet Red Cabbage
Method
Serves 6-8 as a side dish. Goes well with gamey dishes.
1. Put the vinegar, caraway, salt and sugar into a casserole or stainless steel saucepan with 125ml / 4 fluid oz water. Add the cabbage and bring to the boil.
2. Lay the apples on top of the cabbage, cover and continue to cook gently for about 30+ minutes, until the cabbage is tender. Take care not to overcook or the colour and flavour will be ruined.
3. Taste and add more seasoning or sugar if necessary. Serve warm.
