Red Cabbage with Apples and Spice

The following recipe can be served cold as a salad or hot as a side dish. My family enjoys it hot as a side with a pork roast. The blend of sweet, sour and rich spices can make you forget you are eating healthy.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 medium red cabbage
  • 8 tart red apples
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash cabbage and coarsely shred. Put cabbage in a kettle or Dutch oven with about an inch of water.

  3. Add cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Simmer cabbage for 10 – 15 minutes or until desired doneness.
  4. Remove from heat and gently stir.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together vinegar, sugar, and the salt to taste. Add blended dressing to cabbage. Mix to blend. Serve hot or cold.
