Ingredients
3tbspbutter
1mediumonionpeeled and diced
8cupsred cabbagecut into 1/2 inch strips
3granny smith applespeeled, cored and diced
1/2cupvinegar
1/3cupsugar
2 1/2cupswater
1tspsalt
Instructions
Heat the oil in a dutch oven or pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until fairly soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to medium low. You are still looking for the water to have a light boil.
Continue to braise the cabbage and apples, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft and a deep purple colour. The apples will likely dissolve and be part of the sauce. This generally takes 45-60 minutes.
