BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES
This is an adaptation of a classic cabbage dish that I never tire of. The cabbage cooks for a long time, until it is very tender and sweet. I like to serve this with bulgur, or as a side dish with just about anything. You can halve the quantities if you don't want to make such a large amount.

Steps:
- Prepare the cabbage, and cover with cold water while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet or casserole, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until just about tender, about three minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring, until the mixture is golden, about three minutes, then add the apples and stir for two to three minutes.
- Drain the cabbage and add to the pot. Toss to coat thoroughly, then stir in the allspice, another 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and salt to taste. Toss together. Cover the pot, and cook over low heat for one hour, stirring from time to time. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt, and add another tablespoon or two of balsamic vinegar as desired.

BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES
Steps:
- Wash the head of cabbage under cold running water, remove the tough outer leaves, and cut cabbage into quarters. To shred the cabbage, cut out the core and slice the quarters crosswise into 1/8?inch-wide strips.
- In a heavy 4 to 5-quart casserole, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, or until the onions are lightly browned. Add the cabbage, stir thoroughly, add the apples, and pour in the boiling water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, and reduce the heat to very low. Add red wine vinegar, salt and sugar, stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the cabbage is tender. Check from time to time to make sure that the cabbage is moist and tender. If it seems dry, add a tablespoon of boiling water. When the cabbage is done, there should be almost no liquid left in the casserole. Taste for seasoning, then transfer the entire contents of the casserole to a heated platter or bowl and serve.

BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH CARAMELIZED APPLES
Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium stockpot or Dutch-oven (at least 11 inches in diameter) over medium-high heat. Add sugar and salt, and stir to dissolve. Add apples and onion, in as close to a single layer as possible. Turn to coat in butter mixture. Let cook, shaking pan occasionally and turning over once, until sugar is beginning to caramelize and coat the apples and onions, about 10 minutes.
- Add cabbage, vinegar, and water. Bring to just a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until cabbage is tender and liquid is reduced to a syrup, 25 to 30 minutes. If necessary, remove lid in the last 5 minutes and cook, uncovered, to reduce liquid to desired consistency; most of the apples will disintegrate.
- Transfer cabbage and apples to a bowl and serve immediately.
