Method

Melt the butter in a large, lidded saucepan over a medium heat. Add the cinnamon, star anise and thyme; toast for 1 min. Turn the heat to high and add the sherry (or vinegar) and sugar; bubble for 2 mins.

Pour in the pomegranate juice and add the red cabbage. Season; stir to coat the red cabbage in the juice. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, with the pan lid ajar, for 1 hr, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove the cinnamon stick and star anise before serving.
Get ahead: This can be made 2 days in advance and reheated with a splash of water, or can be frozen for 1 month.
