Yum -That sounds good just reading it, doesn’t it? This is a great recipe for those big family dinners, because it combines just the right amount of sweetness, and it can be made a day ahead of time and re-heated, so it is super easy! The red cabbage goes really well with red meats, so try it with a Roast Beef Brisket.
- 2 tbsp. (30 mL) vegetable oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 1 small head red cabbage, quartered and thinly sliced
- 2 apples, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) red wine (any kind)
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp. (15 mL) sugar
- 2 tsp. (10 mL) salt
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) apple jelly
What you will need to do:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Next, add the cabbage and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cabbage is thoroughly wilted and softened.
- Add in the apples, wine, vinegar, sugar and salt, lower the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring once every fifteen minutes or so.
- Lastly, stir in apple jelly, then replace the cover on the pot and continue to simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes, and then you are done. Either serve and enjoy, or refrigerate/freeze and save for later!
