Ingredients

  • 3 pounds red cabbage
  • 3 sour green apples
  • 1 large onion
  • 1/4 cup of lard
  • 3 cloves
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 5 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 cup white wine

Directions

  1. Peel the apples and chop them up. Put the lard into a large pot and add the onions.
  2. Cook on medium heat until browned. Add shredded cabbage, apples, vinegar, white wine, sugar, salt, cloves, and the bay leaf in that order. Bring this mixture to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for two to three hours. If there is too much liquid, add a little bit of cornstarch to make it thicker.
