Description

Traditionally served around the holidays, this recipe for a cabbage side dish comes from Denmark.

Ingredients

1 (2 pound) red cabbage
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup cranberry juice
2 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
salt to taste

Directions

1 Remove the outer set of leaves of cabbage and discard. Cut cabbage quarters; remove and discard white stem. Chop remaining cabbage finely.
2 Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir cabbage in melted butter until softened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour vinegar over cabbage and stir to coat. Add cranberry juice and sugar to the pot. Season cabbage mixture with salt.
3 Reduce heat to low, place a cover on the pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is completely tender, 60 to 75 minutes. Add more sugar towards the end if it is tart.
