Add 1 small glass of sour cherries with the juice and an additional 125 ml of sour cherry juice to the red cabbage and simmer for another 25 minutes. .
Goes well with game and beef dishes and of course with roast goose.
Tip: If you like it a little thicker, thicken the red cabbage after the cooking time with a little starch mixed in water
