written by The Recipe Exchange | November 22, 2023

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 medium sweet onion diced
2 green apples diced
1 medium head red cabbage shredded
3 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup red wine

Spices:
1 tablespoon sage fresh, sliced or dry sage (1 teaspoon)
1 whole bay leaf
3 whole cloves

Directions

Use a large pot (or Dutch Oven) and melt butter over medium-high heat. Once melted add onions, apples, and sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté for 6-7 minutes.

Add shredded cabbage. Immediately pour in apple cider vinegar and red wine. This will ensure the color of the cabbage remains rich and vibrant.

Add sage, bay leaf, and cloves. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 30-35 minutes stirring occasionally until the cabbage is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
