  • i freeze them all the time, i usually cut the cob in half and wrap in cling film. When you want to cook them just bung them in the microwave for about 6 mins (still in the cling film).
    They always taste fine :)

    Yes :)

    And no - just chuck them in some water :)
  • You can freeze them in their jackets..I just pick them off the plant and throw them in the freezer. Not quite as nice as fresh, but still good!!
  • I cook mine in the pressure cooker for 6 mins from frozen and dripping with butter and pepper they are fine

    Hi tdd111,

    Once cooked red cabbage freezes brilliantly so you shouldn't have any problems. Defrost overnight in the fridge and then reheat (covered) until piping hot in the oven or microwave.

    Is Swedish red cabbage the same as the braised red cabbage with spices & apples that Delia Smith did on recent Christmas cooery show? If so, she said it freezes brilliantly and she does extra so as to have some to freeze for after Christmas. I've made that recipe and have frozen it so hopefully all will be well.

    Does anyone have a recipe for Clarissa Dickson-wright's version of Swedish red cabbage? (The one which she insisted had to be cooked for two hours plus)
