How to Make It
Ingredients
- 8 cups thinly sliced red cabbage, about 1/4-inch thick
- 1 cup good-quality apple cider
- ⅓ cup raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 thyme sprigs, plus extra to garnish
- 5 whole allspice berries
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, combine all ingredients. Bring liquid on the bottom to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is deep purple and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove thyme sprigs, whole spices, and bay leaf before serving.
