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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium red cabbage (about 3 pounds)
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar or more, according to taste
1/4 cup vinegar
Salt, pepper
2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and chopped (optional)
1/2 cup red currant jelly

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 RED CHRISTMAS CABBAGE

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Vegetable     Side     Braise     Christmas

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds (1 kg) red cabbage, shredded
2 apples (I use Pink Lady or Gala), peeled and coarsely shredded
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup red currant juice (the real thing, no high fructose corn syrup stuff)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

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, round head of red cabbage with vibrant color.
  • Shred the cabbage finely: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of apples: A mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, will add depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Sauté the apples and onions before adding the cabbage: This will caramelize the sugars in the apples and onions, giving them a rich, sweet flavor.
  • Use a good quality red wine vinegar: This will add a tangy, acidic flavor to the dish.
  • Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and juniper berries: These spices will enhance the flavor of the cabbage and add a touch of warmth.
  • Simmer the cabbage until it is tender: This will take about 30 minutes. Stir the cabbage occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
  • Serve the cabbage warm or at room temperature: It can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course with roasted meats or fish.

Conclusion:

Danish red cabbage is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor, it is a perfect accompaniment to a variety of main courses. Whether you serve it warm or at room temperature, Danish red cabbage is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
