If your family likes the sweet-tart flavor found in many German dishes, they'll enjoy this recipe. The cabbage, apples and onions are cooked with vinegar, sugar and a variety of spices-the end result can't be beat! Ingredients:
1 medium head red cabbage, cored and sliced |
2 large tart apples, peeled and sliced |
1 medium sweet onion, sliced and separated into rings |
1-1/2 cups water |
1 cup cider vinegar |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 teaspoon salt |
6 whole peppercorns |
2 whole allspice |
2 whole cloves |
1 bay leaf |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 teaspoons cold water |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, toss cabbage, apples and onion. Add water, vinegar, sugar, butter and salt. Place the peppercorns, allspice, cloves and bay leaf on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and stir with kitchen string to form a bag. Add to Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/4 hours.
2. Discard spice bag. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir in cabbage mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Yield: 6-8 servings.
