Enrich the red cabbage with some raisins, cranberry sauce, redcurrant jelly, juniper berries or orange zest.
Replace the vinegar by orange juice.
The cabbage will keep for 2 days, covered, in the fridge or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in either a pan or in the microwave.
Id the cabbage is tender but the braising liquid too thin, drain the cabbage in a colander on top of a clean pan. Reduce the braising liquid to the desired consistency and stir in the cabbage.
