Ingredients

25g unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely sliced
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 small red cabbage, cored and finely sliced
1 Bramley apple, peeled, cored and grated
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp light muscovado sugar
2 tbsp redcurrant jelly
Fresh thyme leaves, to serve (optional)

Method

Melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft, but not browned. Stir in the spices, then add the cabbage, apple, red wine vinegar, sugar and 100ml cold water. Stir until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. Season well.
Bring to the boil, then cover tightly and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until very tender and the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the redcurrant jelly until melted, then serve scattered with fresh thyme leaves, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Enjoy leftovers with cold meats, or freeze in an airtight container for up to 1 month. When needed, thaw and reheat until piping hot.
