Gram V's German Style Red Cabbage

It takes a bit to chop the cabbage and to cook it down, but this recipe is wonderful. My family has passed it down for over 100 years. I've "turned on" many friends to red cabbage because of this dish.

Ingredients


Preparation

Toss the shredded cabbage into a stock pot (with a lid!) with butter, apples, water,

cider and brown sugar and cover. Cook down on medium heat until cabbage is

tender, approx. 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Cabbage should have a little juice in it, but if it's swimming in juice add

a bit of flour to thicken it.

We loved this cabbage. I added to this 1/4 tsp allspice, 1/4 cup of applejuice, a dash of cinnamon, 2 bay leaves and 4 cloves of cinnamon. I add about another 1/4 cup of cider vinegar and about three teaspoons of distilled vinegar. I did not add water. I stirred all until it started boiling. I then removed the cloves. Added 5 cups of cabbage. Cooked till tender. Delicious!!!

This is a classic. You will find this all over Germany. A true ethnic cuisine which has stood the test of time. Vary it with non- nutritive sweetners, or other vinegars. Apples were a way to use less sugar in ancient days. Try a few cloves or juniper berries for variety.

WOW! That is one fantastic recipe. I have never made red cabbage before. All the other times I can remember eating it, it was blah. This recipe is fantastic. The flavor is wonderful. It's sweet, but then you get this great tangy zing to finish off the taste. I will definately be making this again!!!
