Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium head red cabbage chopped into large chunks (about 6-7 cups)
- 1 sweet apple chopped. (Fuji, honey crisp, etc)
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Place the chopped cabbage, apple, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and allspice in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it over medium-low heat.
- Allow the cabbage to cook, over medium-low heat, for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until the cabbage is tender.
- Remove from heat, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid so the liquid stays inside the pot. Cabbage will release a good bit of liquid while it cooks.
- Keep the heat on medium-low and stir about every 20 minutes.
