Danish Christmas Red Cabbage

SUBMITTED BY: LILLELI  PHOTO BY: Margie 

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