Method
- Heat the oil and butter together in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook for 7 minutes until softened. Stir in the cabbage and cook for a couple of minutes, then pour over the vinegar and sugar and season well. Cover, turn the heat to low and cook for 30-40 minutes until softened and most of the liquid has boiled away (at this point, you can freeze for up to 1 month).
- Stir in the cranberries and cranberry sauce and cook for another 5 minutes until the fruit has plumped and the cabbage is glossy.
Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Cook as instructed and allow to cool completely. Then transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating. To reheat and serve, place on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the dish is heated through.
