DANISH CHRISTMAS RED CABBAGE
In Denmark it is traditional to serve a cooked pickled red cabbage for the Christmas Eve dinner. This is my mother's, and it is so easy to make and will be a great sidedish to any roast duck, turkey or goose. When reheating, I like to add a tablespoon of black currant jam to enhance the flavor.

Steps:
- Remove and discard tough outer leaves from cabbage. Shred cabbage very fine. In heavy kettle, melt butter. Add sugar, but do not brown. Add cabbage and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add vinegar, water, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer covered for 2-3 hours, or until cabbage is very tender. Stir occasionally, and if necessary, add a little hot water to prevent scorching. When cabbage is almost tender, add apples, if desired, and red currant jelly. Cabbage should be quite sweet-sour. If necessary, add more sugar or vinegar, a little at a time. Simmer covered for 30 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Serve with roast goose or duck. This is best if made a day ahead, and reheated slowly.

DANISH BROWNED CABBAGE WITH CARAWAY
This cabbage goes well with pork. It is a traditional Danish dish. The caraway gives it a lovely flavor. You do not add any water with this recipe. It is cooked on the lowest number on your stove - there is enought moisture in thc cabbage that comes out as it slowly cooks. I cover the pot after adding the caraway seeds. Remember to stir each time you pass the stove. As mentioned by Swedish Chef in her review her MIL added an apple - I tried it and it is excellent. Thanks SW

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in a large pot over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer cabbage for 1 hour and 15 min., stirring often. Cool cabbage and transfer to clean jars, refrigerate. Cabbage can be stored, refrigerated for up to two weeks.
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, dense cabbage with tightly packed leaves. A good quality cabbage will ensure the best flavor and texture in your dish.
- Slice the cabbage thinly: Thinly sliced cabbage cooks more evenly and quickly, allowing it to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Experiment with different seasonings to add flavor to your dish. Common seasonings for Danish cabbage include salt, pepper, caraway seeds, and bay leaves.
- Cook the cabbage slowly: Low and slow cooking allows the cabbage to caramelize and develop a rich, complex flavor.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Danish cabbage can be served as a main course or a side dish. Pair it with boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, or roasted meats for a complete meal.

Danish cabbage is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its slightly sweet and tangy flavor, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
