Dor’s Rave Review Red Cabbage
1 lb. red cabbage (a head) cut into 1” slices
1 medium onion sliced thin
¾ c dark raisins
1 c sweet cider
3 Tbs cider vinegar
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp canola oil
In a stainless steel saucepan combine all of the ingredients listed. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer 45 minutes. Most of the liquid should evaporate but cabbage should be moist. Cook longer if there is excess moisture in bottom of pan. The small amount of liquid remaining should be carmelized and brown and the cabbage, crunchy.
Serves 4-6
