5 cups shredded red cabbage
1 cup sliced green apples
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons water
2 ¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Place cabbage, apples, sugar, and butter into a large pot. Pour in vinegar and water, then add salt, pepper, and cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the cabbage is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
