Strange to be the only one to rate this recipe. In the midst of the stay home order during the COVID pandemic, I had a huge cabbage and some old oranges so I improvised to avoid going to the store for OJ. Added grated orange rind and a bit of orange flavouring. Pleasing results.
Have to agree with Trepidatious Cook. Don’t know why there aren’t more reviews. This was excellent. Had most of a red cabbage remaining from the coleslaw served at another meal. Looked for other recipes and came across this one. Had all the ingredients, so decided to try it. The only change was that I used 1/8 tsp of ground cloves, as I didn’t want to hunt for, or bite into, the whole cloves at dinner.
Hmm...were my proportions off? This tasted like exactly nothing. It was pretty good after I added about 1/3 cup agave nectar, some herb vinegar, a cup of cranberries, and lots more salt and pepper--but I couldn't taste the OJ. Anyway, I'd pass on this one.
