Directions
Crock Pot Baked Spiced Red Cabbage With Apples or Pears,A delicious recipe using red cabbage, fragrant spices & apples or pears; whilst this is happily cooking away, the spicy smell pervades the kitchen & indeed the rest of the house and heralds the start of my festive baking & freezing season – who needs expensive pot-pourries! Not only is this dish delectable to eat alongside turkey, pork, beef and hams in particular – but the colour is just gorgeous, a rich jewelled ruby red! This cabbage can be kept warm for long periods, reheated and also freezes very well, making it a very well behaved recipe!!,Excellent side with pork. The only change I made was to use apple cider vinegar. Everyone loved it. The recipe makes a lot! I cooked it in the oven to give it more of a caramelized taste. Next time I won’t bother with the layering, just throw it all together and mix well. I served 6 adults, most of whom had seconds but I still had a fair bit leftover. I’m glad it freezes well.
