How to Make Grandma Jeannette's Red Cabbage
- Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium red cabbage (about 1 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced, along with 2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), cored and thinly sliced, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
- Pour in 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm.
