Recipe View 0 mins Serve the red cabbage immediately while warm, or chill it in an airtight container for later. Reheating the cabbage will allow the flavors to meld further.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of black currant jam or red currant jelly when reheating. This will enhance the sweetness and add a beautiful depth to the sauce.
Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup. For a tangier flavor, increase the vinegar by a tablespoon.
The red cabbage can be made several days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The flavors will develop even more over time.
