Sovay from Northern England,
Simple but good - the cider, bacon and juniper combine wonderfully with the pork and cabbage. The only drawback is that as Delia admits, it's not a pretty dish (she suggests a sprinkle of parsley but that doesn't help much).
The cabbage doesn't really count towards one's Five a Day (or however many it is now) after the long slow cooking, but I found that an accompaniment of more cabbage, lightly steamed, made a fine contract in taste and texture.
Page number is probably not correct for the edition given as my copy is the original 1970s paperback (and cost £1.25 which even at the time was sensibly frugal. Current edition costs £17.99!)
