Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onions and fry, stirring every now and then, for about 10 mins, until they start to caramelise. Stir in the cloves, then add the cabbage and continue cooking, stirring more frequently this time, until the cabbage starts to soften.

  • step 2

    Pour in the stock, add the vinegar and sugar, then cover and cook for 10 mins.

  • step 3

    Stir in the cranberries and cook for 10 mins more. Cool and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat until very hot before serving.

I would do this again, as red cabbage brightens up the plate with a roast dinner. I…

I used frozen whole cranberries because I already had them. They are slightly sharp in flavour and I'll try raisins or sultanas next time. Also used 2 whole cloves whilst halving all other ingredients as I feared too much clove would spoil the flavour. Seemed about right. Will probably cook this and…
