Sweet, tangy and gently spiced, this cider-braised red cabbage recipe is a festive favourite that's well worth making from scratch. Bramley apples, warming spices and a splash of British cider bring richness and depth, while cranberries add bursts of fruity sweetness. Make it ahead of time and simply reheat before serving alongside roast turkey, pork or glazed ham.
