Red Cabbage With Sour Cherries image

This dish incorporates dried cherries, fruit juice, honey and tomato paste (yes tomato paste) to balance the sweet - tart flavor of the dish. So different and interesting that I had to post the recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
7 cups red cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sour cherry juice (or pomegranate or cranberry juice)
2 tablespoons honey (lavender or wildflower)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/3 cup dried sour cherries
1 stick cinnamon (4-inch)
2 whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a small dutch oven or deep medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage, onion, and salt and saute until wilted, 5 minutes. Cover tightly, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the cabbage is very moist, 8 minutes.
  • Add the juice, honey and tomato paste, stirring until the honey dissolves. Add the cherries, cinnamon, clove and cardamom (if using). Season with pepper. When the liquid boils, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cabbage is very soft, about 1 hour. Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves before serving.

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll add more sugar next time.

This dish was a disappointment. The red cabbage was tough and the sour cherries were too tart. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of sour cherries, so I used cranberries instead. It was still very good!

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit! It's a great way to use up leftover red cabbage. I usually serve it with pork chops or chicken.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Not a fan of red cabbage, but this recipe changed my mind. The sour cherries added a nice tanginess that balanced out the cabbage's bitterness. Will definitely make this again.

So easy to make and incredibly delicious! I used frozen sour cherries and it turned out great. The red cabbage and cherries complemented each other beautifully. Highly recommend this recipe!

This red cabbage with sour cherries dish was an absolute delight! The combination of sweet and sour flavors was perfectly balanced, and the red cabbage was cooked to perfection - tender but still with a slight crunch. I served it as a side dish with
