Red Cabbage Glazed With Maple Syrup image

This recipe, published in The Times in 1991, was adapted from Yves Labbé, the chef at Le Cheval d'Or, a restaurant in Jeffersonville, Vt., that showcased French country cooking. Mr. Labbé was known to serve this side dish alongside quail in a red-wine sauce, and its simple instructions belie depths of flavor. The cabbage cooks down, braising in its own juices, while the sweetness of the apples and maple syrup, a Vermont staple, tones down the bitterness of the cabbage. The result has broad appeal.
