Instructions

1. Thinly slice the onion and finely shred the cabbage. Drain the cherries into a bowl and add the brandy. Set aside to marinate.
2. Put everything in a heavy-based pan, including the tinned cherries syrup, then bring to the boil.
3. Cook for about 30 minutes over low heat, until the cabbage is tender, or longer for a softer texture. Add the brandied cherries and simmer for 10 more minutes.
4. Serve warm.
