We love cabbage in this house and we especially love red cabbage, especially when it is nicely spiced and flavoured!

I served it today with hot and fluffy mashed potatoes, carrots and bangers with gravy and it went down a real treat!

Flavoured with juniper, bay leaves, onion, sultanas, apple and black pepper.   I always like to add some cinnamon , freshly grated nutmeg and cloves for an additional bit of spice and stir in a spoonful of red currant jelly right at the end . . . just for an additional glaze and sweetness which gives a real sweet and sour flavour with the cider vinegar.  In any case this is a flavour winning combination!

I have to say that I have a real fondness for the Schwartz products.  The Schwartz brand was established in 1889 by William Schwartz, the son of a German immigrant, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. As a native Nova Scotian and the descendant of German immigrants myself, Schwartz brand products have always played an important part of my holiday preparations!
