Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 red cabbage shredded, medium head
  • 1 apple deseeded and grated, Granny Smith
  • 1 yellow onion thinly sliced, medium
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar granulated white
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3-4 juniper berries dried
  • Pinch cloves ground

Instructions

  1. Place the butter in a 6-quart or larger lidded pot set over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the cabbage, apple, onion, vinegar, sugar, water, juniper berries, and cloves to the pot.
  2. Allow the mixture to come to a boil over medium heat. Then, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot, and simmer, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until the cabbage is tender and turning translucent (about 1 hour).

Notes

  • Store the German Braised Red Cabbage in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay good for up to 5 days. To freeze, properly store it in a freezer-safe container, where it can last for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, simply thaw it in the fridge if frozen, then warm it on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave. Stir occasionally and add a little water if needed to prevent drying out during reheating.
