Ingredients

  • 3 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced & about 2-inches long
  • 1 large apple (such as Gala, Spartan or McIntosh), peeled, cored and diced
  • 1/4 cup red onions, diced
  • 2 tbsp. butter tips & tricks
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar, such as demerara
  • 1 1/2 ounces organic apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 ounces water

Directions

  • In a deep saucepan over medium heat, add butter and when it starts sizzling, add the onions; sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add apple and sugar; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar, water and cabbage; add pepper and cloves.
