Halve the red cabbage, remove the damaged leaves. Cut into the finest strips with a slicer or a food processor. Put in a sieve and rinse briefly with warm water.
Heat the clarified butter in a roaster, add the onions and apple wedges and sauté until light yellow while stirring. Add the sugar and let it caramelize for about half a minute, stirring again and again. Put the red cabbage together with the lemon juice in the roasting pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until it collapses a little. Add the vinegar, water, red wine, bay leaves, salt and the currant jelly and mix.
Place the roaster with the lid in the oven preheated to 150 ° C and cook for 45 minutes. Then take it out, mix the cornstarch with a little water and bind the red cabbage with it. Season with cinnamon, pepper and cloves and let simmer for another half a minute.
It is best to prepare red cabbage the day before; the more often you heat it up, the better it tastes. It is also ideal for freezing.

Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
