Side Dish

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.

Ingredients

  • 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.
  2. Peel, core, and slice apples, arrange over top of cabbage.
  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.
