Braised Red Cabbage With Apples - Scandanavia image

My Norwegian great-grandmother Alice used to make this dish at Christmas. She didn't leave me the recipe! I remember she used jam in it. This is one could be close. It is from "The Best Recipes in the World" by Mark Bittman.

Time 1m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 medium red cabbage, cored and shredded (about 2 pounds)
2 apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks (Cortland or Golden Delicious work well)
1/4 cup black currant jelly (or red currant)

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, sugar, and vinegar with a large pinch of salt and sprinkling of pepper in a large deep skillet with a lid over medium heat. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the cabbage, stirring to coat. When the cabbage begins to glisten and soften a bit, add the apple pieces and stir.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the cabbage is soft, about 45 minutes.
  • Stir in the currant jelly. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve.
