==================================

On cooking, red cabbage will normally turn blue. To retain the red color it is necessary to add vinegar or acidic fruit to the pot.

Don't cook red cabbage pickle the bugger.



Chop it all up into small pieces, sprinkle salt over it, cover and leave.

next day stuff it in a jar and cover with vinegar and leave for about a week.



That is the only way...

Reply:Braise it with onions, cooking apple, apple juice/cider and a bit of vinegar. Chop everything up, mix it together in an oven proof dish, cover with foil and cook long and slow. To make it more exciting you can add various things eg cloves, cranberries, raisins.

It's a delicious sweet and tangy flavour that goes very well with pork or ham.
