Scandinavian Braised Cabbage

 

1 medium red cabbage (about 2 pounds)

4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup vinegar

1/4 cup red currant jelly

2 tablespoons grated apple

 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Wash cabbage, remove

outer leaves, and cut in half lengthwise. Remove core.

Slice or chop fine, using a knife or food processor.

 

In a heavy 4- or 5-quart casserole, combine butter,

sugar, salt, water and vinegar. Bring to a boil on the

stove. Add cabbage and toss well to coat. Bring to a

boil; cover casserole, and place in oven. Bake 2

hours. Check occasionally and add some water if all

the liquid has cooked away.

 

Ten minutes before cooking is finished, stir in jelly

and apple; replace cover.

 

Serves 4 to 6.
