Braised red cabbage in freezer since last Christmas, dare I serve it this Christmas?

[sunkisses100]

My fail safe Mary Berry braised red cabbage has been in my freezer since last Christmas. Would you serve it up this year? I think it'll be fine & one less thing to do but am I being awful?

Absolutely would!

Yes. Unless you’ve defrosted your freezer multiple times in between and left it uncovered and freezer burnt, why wouldn’t you?

This is very encouraging, thank you! Maybe I should ask Dame Mary too!

Noooo…. I am sure it’s perfectly edible but it will just not be as nice.

It will be fine.

But personally as it only costs a couple of quid to make a fresh one then I'd do that instead. However, if it was a £50 joint of meat instead then I'd go for the one out the freezer...

Absolutely DO NOT eat it.

Throw it in the garden, smash it with a sledgehammer, drench it in petrol then set fire to it - then stamp on it. Red cabbage is the evil Christmas sister of sprouts

It will be divine - does it have alcohol in? will have matured nicely!
Having found it, I think I'd eat it way before christmas - jsut with mashed potato!

it will be lovely especially if you add a touch more oil and bake it a long while at a low temp.

Good plan I'll add more butter to make it extra delicious!

I'd defrost a little bit of it and taste test it first.

It will be fine but I imagine it will taste a bit sub-par. Do you really want to risk that on Christmas Day for the sake of the cost of a bit of cabbage?

Eat it by all means, but not on Christmas Day.
