Ingredients

1 small purple cabbage

1 apple or pear

¼ cup red or white wine, whatever you have in the house

3 Tablespoons olive oil

2 Tablespoons honey

juice from 1 lemon

fresh salt and pepper

a handful of dried cranberries

Preparation

Split the cabbage in half, remove the tough stem in the center and slice into strips approximately ½ inch/1 cm thick. Peel, core and cube the apple or pear. Transfer the cabbage and the apple/pear to a large pot and add the rest of the ingredients, plus ¼ cup of water. Bring to a boil, stir and cover. Cook on medium heat until all the liquids evaporate and the cabbage is soft. I like to scorch the bottom - by continuing to cook for 2 additional minutes after the liquids evaporate - so that my cabbage gets a little caramelized. Fix seasoning. It should be sweet-salty-sour.

Eat hot, cold or warm. Keeps well.
