Method

I tend to cook this the day before while cooking another meal, it tastes even better after 24 hours!

• Half the red cabbage and remove the core
• Slice finely with a sharp knife or use the slice on your food processor
• Leave to soak in cold water for 30-40 minutes
• Take a large saucepan so that there is space once the cabbage is added
• Once the cabbage has soaked quarter and slice the onion then fry gently in a little olive oil
• Add in a pinch of ground cloves
• Drain the water off the cabbage, add to the saucepan and stir in with the onion
• Now peel, core and thinly slice the apple and add to the pan
• Add the sugar, wine and water and stir all ingredients together
