Description
This recipe from my grandma is one of my favorite holiday side dishes. The sweet and sour taste is a great compliment to the rest of the meal. I love that it’s a non-starchy side. I also love that it’s super pretty! (Being super easy to make doesn’t hurt, either.)
Ingredients
- 1 head Red Cabbage
- 1 whole Onion
- 1 whole Large Granny Smith Apple, Or 2 Small Ones
- ⅔ cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¾ cups Apple Cider Vinegar
- ¾ cups Water
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
Preparation
Begin by quartering one head of red cabbage. Cut each quarter into slices 1/4 inch thick and place in a large pot.
Dice the onion and add it to the red cabbage.
Peel and slice the apples, and add them to the cabbage.
Add the sugar, salt, vinegar, and water to the mixture as well.
Turn the stove on high and bring to a boil. Stir and boil for about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot ajar, and let it simmer together for another 45 minutes.
Remove the cabbage from the heat and add about a tablespoon of corn starch to bring the liquid to the thickness of gravy.

Hi Katie ! Red cabbage is a favorite from our family, I also own a very old recipe from my great great mother.
Here is mine :
Use “saindoux” I don’t know the exact word in English but it is the grease of the bacon, it is white.
I put a Tbsp of Saindoux in a pan, when it is warm I add the cabbage, I melt the cabbage for grease it and let cook for 2-3 min.
After that, I add 1/4 cup of red wine, salt, pepper, 1/4 of sugar, and I melt.
I peel and cut 2 apples in slices (without the core) and put it on the top of the cabbage, I close the pan and let cook for 1-2 jour(s) on slow/medium heat.
I prefer red cabbage when it is slow cooked, and the saindoux gives it a wonderful flavour !
Have a great day and thanks for your recipe !
