Always a favourite in our house to go with the turkey, this lovely slow-braised red cabbage.
Great hot with the meal but also a fine accompaniment with cold cuts on boxing day

Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat renders and bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add cabbage, vinegar, wine, water, sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; stir to combine. Raise heat to medium-high, cover, and cook 5 minutes.
