Braised Red Cabbage With Apples - Scandanavia

My Norwegian great-grandmother Alice used to make this dish at Christmas. She didn't leave me the recipe! I remember she used jam in it. This is one could be close. It is from "The Best Recipes in the World" by Mark Bittman.

- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1 medium red cabbage, cored and shredded (about 2 pounds)
- 2 apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks (Cortland or Golden Delicious work well)

directions
- Combine the butter, sugar, and vinegar with a large pinch of salt and sprinkling of pepper in a large deep skillet with a lid over medium heat. Bring to a boil.

- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the cabbage is soft, about 45 minutes.
- Stir in the currant jelly. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve.

i made exactly as written but thought it was too buttery (crazy, i know!) but honestly the strongest flavor was the butter. dunno if butter from grass-fed cows is more butter-esque?? anyway, i will definitely make this again just with less butter. and i will probably use balsamic vinegar to punch up that flavor.
