Ingredients

1 medium-sized head, red cabbage

2 tart apples

2 Tbsp. chicken fat (I used butter instead)

1 medium-sized onion, sliced

1 quart water (I only used 3 cups)

1/2 cup light vinegar (red wine preferred)

1/3 cup sugar (original recipe calls for 1/2 cup)

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

2 cloves

1 bay leaf

juice of 1/2 lemon

2 or 3 Tbsp. flour (optional)

Directions

Wash cabbage, drain; cut as for coleslaw.

Wash and core apples; peel and cut in small pieces. (I did not peel the apples.)

Heat fat in large saucepan and saute onion and apples 3 or 4 minutes. Add water, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, cloves, bay leaf, and lemon juice. Stir; bring to a boil. Add cabbage. Cover and let simmer 45 minutes, or until tender. Just before serving, sprinkle flour on top to absorb liquid. (I think you should use a whisk to mix the flour into the liquid of the cabbage, not sprinkle on top where it will tend to clump.)

Can be made ahead and reheated.

Makes approx. 7 1-cup servings or 9 3/4-cup servings.
