Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place water, cabbage, sugar and salt in a heavy-based saucepan.
  2. Add apple, cover tightly and cook very gently (using a simmer mat) for about 1 hour.
  3. Lift lid and stir apple into softened cabbage.
  4. Tip in vinegar and butter.
  5. Cook, covered, a further 15 minutes.
  6. Stir once more.
  7. The cabbage should look shiny from the melted butter.
  8. There should still be some evidence of apple slices, not just a mush.
