"This recipe is one my Mother made for years. Red Cabbage cooked this way is tradional to serve on Christmas Eve along side a pork roast with crackling. The long slow cook time is important do not try to speed it up. The Red Current Jelly not only adds sweetness but also helps maintain a deep red colour. For rich colour you may also add a bit of beet juice from your pickled beets. Make the cabbage a day or two in advance. The flavour improves with sitting. Just reheat before serving. The red cabbage is alao used as a garnish on open face sandwiches like liver pate or headcheese"
