BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES



Braised Red Cabbage With Apples image

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.

About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste

OLD-FASHIONED RED CANDIED APPLES



Old-Fashioned Red Candied Apples image

These are the kind you found at the circus or carnival! Not the newer version covered with cramel. ;) Candy thermometer is needed for this, as well as popsicle sticks. The number of apples needed depends on the size of the apples, probably 4 medium ones. The recipe states that each batch candies approximately 1 dozen medium apples. I'm not sure I trust that. Cook time depends on your altitude where you live, heat of your burner, and pot used. NOTE: See review by Canada Goose for helpful hints! Thanks, CG!

State Fair Red Candy Apples image

This receipe was given to me when I was 8 yrs old by our neighbors mom. Every year at the towns Halloween Carnival, she would make hundreds of these to sell at one of the booths. These were my favorite thing to make for my own kids while they were growing up. This receipe has always been part of my childhood!!!

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ripe granny smith apples
2 c sugar
1 c kero (white) syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla
Dash of cream of tarter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 Tbsp red food coloring
12 popsickle sticks
cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Grease 2 cookie sheets. Wash and dry apples and put popsickle sticks in them and have them ready to be dipped into the hot candy.
  • 2. Spray a large pot with cooking spray.Put a candy thermometer on side of pot(do not let it touch bottom). On high temperature, mix all ingrediants, STIRRING CONSTANTLY(this will take awhile).Allow temperature to reach 277 degrees(or soft crack). DO NOT OVERCOOK.You know candy is ready when it forms a ball when a little dropped in a glass of cool water.
  • 3. Immediately remove from heat. And start dipping apples in the HOT candy.BE CAREFULL, THE CANDY IS EXTREMELY HOT!!!After dipping apples in candy, swirl apple around to keep candy on apple and let the apple drip for a few seconds and put them on the greased cookie sheets.WORK FAST, as the hot liquid as it cools will get hard.
  • 4. When finished dipping all the apples, make sure you put some HOT water in your pot and get the candy out as soon as possable, or you will have a big mess. Also clean all candy drippings, spoons, etc. This candy when dry, dries like glue.
  • 5. If you want to cool fast, put in refrigerator for a few minutes. But do not store in refrigerator, because the candy will slide right off the apple. Keep in airtight container when hard or wrap in wax paper.

Mustard-Thyme butter:
4 TBSPs unsalted butter, room temperature
2 TBSPs Dijon mustard
2 tsps fresh thyme leaves
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsps lemon juice
Pork and Cabbage
4 rib cut pork chops, 1 inch thick

A delicious recipe using red cabbage, fragrant spices & apples or pears; whilst this is happily cooking away, the spicy smell pervades the kitchen & indeed the rest of the house and heralds the start of my festive baking & freezing season - who needs expensive pot-pourries! Not only is this dish delectable to eat alongside turkey, pork, beef and hams in particular - but the colour is just gorgeous, a rich jewelled ruby red! This cabbage can be kept warm for long periods, reheated and also freezes very well, making it a very well behaved recipe!!

Provided by French Tart

Categories     Apple

Time 6h45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs red cabbage, shredded finely
4 large onions, peeled & finely diced
4 large apples or 4 large pears, NOT peeled, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, peeled & finely minced
4 tablespoons soft brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
salt & pepper
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Discard outer leaves of the red cabbage and ut into quarters. Cut out the central woody root and then shred the quarters very finely. Place in a bowl. Cut the apples or pears into quarters, core them & then slice into fine dice and set aside in another bowl.
  • Place peeled and diced onions into another bowl & make sure all the other ingredients are measured and to hand!
  • If cooking in a conventional dutch oven or Le Creuset type casserole dish, turn oven on to 180 C or 360°F It can be cooked on top of the stove too.
  • For cooking in the crockpot - take the inner crock out and start layering the ingredients: Red cabbage, then salt & pepper; Apples or pears, onions & garlic, then the spices & brown sugar;keep layering this way until everything has been used up.
  • (If you would like it slghtly spicier, add a little more spices, but no more than 1 teaspoon per spice, as it will be too spiced & will detract from the apple/pear & red cabbage flavours!).
  • Dot the top of the red cabbage with the butter and pour over the red wine vinegar.
  • Season once more with salt & pepper and cook for 6 to 12 hours on High in the crockpot, until everything has broken down, is soft and it is a rich red colour.
  • For conventional cooking - cook for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours at 180 C or 360°F I.
  • It can be cooked on the stove top too; takes about 2 - 3 hours on a low heat, just a slow simmer.
  • Pears can be used as well, and I sometimes add a handful of cranberries for a really festive touch!

Braised Red Cabbage with Caramelized Apples image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 medium Granny Smith or other tart, firm apples, 1 pound total, peeled, cored, and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
1 large onion, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
1 small (1 1/2 pounds) red cabbage, cored and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges through the core

3/4 cup water

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.

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.
