Not so red cabbage

My Red cabbage and apple doesn’t like like your lovely vibrant red but instead washed out and grey. It was a super fresh red cabbage and followed the recipe exactly! I’ve frozen it for Xmas day. Thanks Susan

Hello Susan,

I think it may be the amount of vinegar as it’s the vinegar that turns it form purple to red.. Delia uses old fashioned tablespoons which measure 20 mls. So, for 1K of cabbage we add 60mls of vinegar. 

Kind regards

Lindsey
