Ingredients 

  • 1 medium head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (about 2-1/2 pounds)
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup currant jelly

Instructions 

  • Add the cabbage to a 4 to 5 quart dutch oven, season with salt and toss to combine.
  • Add the butter and cider and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the currant jelly and cover the pan.
  • Continue cooking, stirring every five minutes or so, until the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is nicely glazed, 20 to 25 minutes longer.

Recipe Notes

Recipe Variation:

For an easy variation on this recipe, replace the apple cider with orange juice and use orange marmalade instead of currant jelly.
