Ingredients:
- 1 large head Red Cabbage (slice and dice)
- 2-3 Tbs Butter
- 1 Tbs Olive Oil
- ¼ of a large Sweet Onion (diced)
- ½ large Granny Smith Apple (diced)
- ½ Cup Cider Vinegar
- ¾ Cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Nutmeg, ground
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper, ground
- 2 Tbs Cornstarch (optional)
Instructions:
In large pot add butter, olive oil and cabbage, onion and saute.
Add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Once the cabbage is medium soft, add the vinegar, sugar and apple.
If there is not enough juice in the pot add a cup of water.
Simmer it for 60 to 90 minutes until it is the right consistency – nice and soft.
As it cooks, keep tasting it and add more salt, pepper, sugar and/or vinegar to taste.
If you want to thicken the juice add 2 tbsp cornstarch with cold water, stir in just enough to thicken red cabbage liquid
Serve and enjoy
Serve with Roast of Goose, Deer, Sauerbraten, Rahmbraten and Rouladen
but also excellent with Hot Dogs and Bratwurst.
Left over red cabbage freezes well for future use.
