Print This Recipe
INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 red cabbage, cored and shredded, 6 cups packed
1 large apple, cored and roughly chopped
1-1/4 cups water
3 tablespoons currant jelly
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepperHeat 1 tablespoon butter in a 3-quart non-aluminum pot over medium high heat. Add onion. Cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cabbage, apple, water, jelly, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper, to taste.
Bring to a boil. Stir until well mixed, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until very tender but with a slight crunch, about 40 minutes. If mixture is too dry, add more water as needed.
Stir in remaining butter. Taste and adjust seasonings, vinegar and sugar. (This can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Let come to room temperature before reheating. Gently reheat on stove top or in microwave until hot, adding more water if needed.) Serve hot.
Makes 8 to 10 servings
