Slice the red cabbage, put all the ingredients in a large saucepan, bring to the boil. After boiling, turn off the stove and let the red cabbage steep for another 30-50 minutes.
Pour into twist-off glasses while still hot and screw on tightly. The red cabbage can be eaten straight from the glass or served as a salad. Both tastes very tasty.
If you want to cook the red cabbage, proceed as usual: sweat the onion with fat until translucent, add the red cabbage, cut 1 apple into small pieces and add a bay leaf. The red cabbage is done in about 1/2 hour.
