"I HELPED MOTHER shred the cabbage and cut up the apples for this recipe. The touch of tartness is wonderful with the sauerbraten. This is one part of the meal that is even tastier if it can be made ahead."

SWEET COOKED PURPLE CABBAGE RECIPE

SWEET COOKED PURPLE CABBAGE RECIPE image

Categories Herb

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 small purple cabbage
1 apple or pear
¼ cup red or white wine, whatever you have in the house
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons honey
juice from 1 lemon
fresh salt and pepper
a handful of dried cranberries

Steps:

Split the cabbage in half, remove the tough stem in the center and slice into strips approximately ½ inch/1 cm thick. Peel, core and cube the apple or pear. Transfer the cabbage and the apple/pear to a large pot and add the rest of the ingredients, plus ¼ cup of water. Bring to a boil, stir and cover. Cook on medium heat until all the liquids evaporate and the cabbage is soft. I like to scorch the bottom - by continuing to cook for 2 additional minutes after the liquids evaporate - so that my cabbage gets a little caramelized. Fix seasoning. It should be sweet-salty-sour. Eat hot, cold or warm. Keeps well.

NANA'S SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE

Nana's Sweet and Sour Cabbage image

The cabbage cooks with the sugar and vinegar to make a nice mellow flavor. My Nana would serve it with potato dumplings and sour bratten. One of my favorite recipes. To make this recipe lighter just substitute the sugar for 1 1/2 times it's amount in Splenda.
