Method

  • step 1

    Heat your slow cooker to Low. Peel the outer leaves from the cabbage and discard. Quarter the cabbage, removing the tough stem, then thinly slice. Arrange a layer of the cabbage on the bottom of your slow cooker, then top with some of the onions, apples, zest, mixed spice, sugar and some seasoning. Continue to create layers until you have used up these ingredients. Season.

  • step 2

    Pour over the vinegar and cider and dot the butter on top. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 hrs until tender. Will keep in the fridge, covered, for up to three days or in the freezer for up to two months. Reheat in a pan or in the microwave.

The temperature of slow cookers can vary vastly; you’ll get to know your slow cooker the more you use it.  

TRY THE HIGH SETTING

On a High setting, the cabbage should take 2-3 hrs. Smaller slow cookers will cook faster than larger ones.

PS - if you're planning to serve it cold (rather than just eating it cold as leftovers) then you can swap the butter for olive oil or vegetable oil as the butter sometimes solidifies a bit once cold and it doesn't look very appetising (but perfectly fine to eat).

Overall, I loved this recipe - very tasty, and I will absolutely make it again. I would however, reduce the amount of sugar. I have a very sweet tooth, but even so it was a little too sweet for me. I have a 3.5 ltr slow cooker, it was filled to the brim, and took about 8 hours on low altogether - so…
