Author Notes
I grew up with jarred red cabbage, but this recipe for a home made version is so much better, and foolproof - as easy as opening a jar, really. —Sabine
Ingredients
-
750 grams
red cabbage (1/4 head), shredded or sliced very finely
-
1 tablespoon
lard
-
3 tablespoons
apple vinegar (or any mild white vinegar)
-
1/2
apple, peeled and cut into small cubes
-
1-2 tablespoons
red currant jelly (more to taste)
-
1 pinch
sea salt
-
100 milliliters
water approx.
Directions
-
In a medium sized pot (I use a cast iron saucepan), add all ingredients, stir well and bring to boil.
-
Cook at medium heat until tender, but slightly al dente, about 1 hour. Give everything a good stir every 5-10 minutes.
-
Adjust seasoning if necessary, using either more jelly (or a little brown sugar), salt or vinegar.
-
Tastes even better warmed the next day.
