German Style Red Cabbage

My mom taught me how to make this a few years back. This is comfort food for me.



1 head of red cabbage
1 medium onion
1-2 apples
2 bay leaves
6-8 cloves
vinegar
sugar

• Quarter cabbage, then slice into thin strips
• Saute diced onion in a bit of olive or butter until transparent
• add sliced red cabbage and cook for about 5minutes or until soft
• add a splash (to taste) of vinegar(I use apple cider vinegar) while cooking cabbage
• peel & cut apple into small pieces and add
• add bay leaves and cloves
• sprinkle a little sugar (about 1-2 tsp)
• add enough water to almost cover cabbage, but not quite.
  

Cook for about an hour or so, you may need to add water along the way if it gets too dry.
Add additional sugar to taste if you want it sweeter.
