Instructions

  1. Cabbage and apples: Remove the tough outer leaves. Quarter the red cabbage and remove the core. Shred the cabbage finely. Peel apples and cut them into small cubes if you use apples instead of apple sauce.2 lbs red cabbage / 1 kg + 2 small apples
  2. Caramelize sugar: Melt the butter in a large pan. Sprinkle the sugar in the pot and let it caramelize (don’t let it burn).1 tablespoon butter + 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  3. Sauté red cabbage: Add cabbage and apples and sauté lightly for about 5 minutes, often stirring. Add all the spices, wine and vinegar. If using apple sauce instead of fresh apples, add it now.3 bay leaves + ¼ teaspoon allspice + 5 juniper berries + 3 cloves + 1 pinch granulated sugar + 1 cup red wine / 250 ml + 1 splash red wine vinegar
  4. Simmer: Cover the pot, turn down the heat, and let the red cabbage simmer for 1 hour. Stir from time to time and add more red wine if necessary (I didn't need to, but keep an eye on the pot, it should not get too dry).
  5. Check for salt and pepper and for more sweetness or sourness. Add a pinch of sugar and a little red wine or balsamic vinegar (to taste) to balance and sweet and sour flavor.fine sea salt and ground black pepper

Notes

  • 00 g/ 3.5 oz)
  • If the cabbage is larger and you want to make a larger batch increase the rest of the ingredients accordingly. The cooked red cabbage freezes very well.
  • Replace apples with ½ cup (100 g/ 3.5 oz) unsweetened or lightly sweetened apple sauce. Add it to the pot together with the spices, red wine, and vinegar.
