1 head red cabbage (about 3 lb.)
2 Tbsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
wine vinegar

1 chopped apple (tart, like Granny Smith; optional)
1 tsp. caraway seed (optional)

Directions

1

Trim cabbage and chop or shred.
2

Wash well and drain.
3

Melt butter in large pot and add sugar.
4

Fry until golden brown. Quickly throw in cabbage (stand back because it may splatter a little).
5

Toss cabbage.
6

Add 2 tablespoons vinegar, caraway seed, apple, salt and pepper to taste and just enough water to prevent burning.
7

Simmer slowly, adding a little more water if necessary. Adjust seasonings; cabbage should have a sweet-sour flavor; add more sugar and/or vinegar to suit.
8

Simmer for approximately 30 to 40 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
