Ingredients

2-1/4 ounces, weight Red Cabbage
1/2 cups Thick Apple Sauce (unsweetened Or Low Sugar), Or Fresh Apple
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
3 Bay Leaves
1/4 teaspoons Allspice
5 Juniper Berries
3 Cloves
1 cup Red Wine
Red Wine Vinegar, To Taste
Salt And Pepper
Sugar, To Taste

Directions

1

Shred red cabbage very finely. If you use apples instead of apple sauce, peel them and cut them into small cubes.
2

Melt butter in a large pan. Sprinkle sugar in the pot and let caramelize. Add red cabbage (and fresh apples cubes, if using) and saute lightly for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add apple sauce (if not using fresh apples), spices, wine and a splash of vinegar. Add about 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3

Cover pot, turn down heat and let cabbage simmer for 1 hour. Stir from time to time and add more red wine if necessary (I didn't need to, but keep an eye on the pot; it should not get too dry).
4

Adjust the taste with salt and pepper and some more sugar if necessary.
