Servings: persons

14 1/4 cups red cabbage
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
6 1/2 tablespoons apple sauce thick, unsweetened or low-sugar or 2 small, tangy apples
3 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon allspice
5 juniper berries
3 cloves
1 cup red wine
1 red wine vinegar splash
sugar a little, to taste
salt
pepper

1
Shred the red cabbage very finely. If you use apples instead of apple sauce, peel them and cut them into small cubes.
2
Melt the butter in a large pan. Sprinkle the sugar in the pot and let caramelize. Add the red cabbage (and the apples if using) and sautee lightly for about 5 minutes, while stirring quite often. Add the apple sauce, the spices, wine and vinegar. Add about 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3
Cover the pot, turn down the heat and let the cabbage simmer for 1 hour. Stir from time to time and add more red wine if necessary (I didn't need to, but keep an eye on the pot, it should not get too dry).
4
Adjust the taste with salt and pepper and some more sugar if necessary.
