Danish Christmas Red Cabbage image

In Denmark it is traditional to serve a cooked pickled red cabbage for the Christmas Eve dinner. This is my grandmother's, and it is so easy to make and will be a great side dish to any roast duck, turkey or goose. When reheating, I like to add a tablespoon of black currant jam to enhance the flavor.

I'm not a big fan of red cabbage, but I tried this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised. It was really good! The sweetness of the apples and the tartness of the vinegar balanced each other out perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This red cabbage is a classic Christmas dish in our family. My grandmother always made it and now I make it for my own family. It's always a hit and everyone loves it.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I like to make it ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few days before serving. The flavors really meld together and it's even better the next day.

This was my first time making red cabbage and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. I served it with roasted pork and mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal.

I've been making this red cabbage for years and it's always a favorite. The combination of the sweet and sour flavors is perfect. I like to add a little extra apple cider vinegar to give it a bit of a kick.
