Red Cabbage With Sour Cherries - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
7 cups red cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sour cherry juice (or pomegranate or cranberry juice)
2 tablespoons honey (lavender or wildflower)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/3 cup dried sour cherries
1 stick cinnamon (4-inch)
2 whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
fresh ground pepper

Preparation

In a small dutch oven or deep medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage, onion, and salt and saute until wilted, 5 minutes. Cover tightly, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the cabbage is very moist, 8 minutes.
Add the juice, honey and tomato paste, stirring until the honey dissolves. Add the cherries, cinnamon, clove and cardamom (if using). Season with pepper. When the liquid boils, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cabbage is very soft, about 1 hour. Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves before serving.
