I’m guilty….I hadn’t used my purple cabbage from a whole share ago! It was time. I have recently been reading about all the benefits to apple cider vinegar so I was sure to add some to this cabbage dish. The tart flavor gets balanced out with a little sugar and some freshly sliced apples. A sweet tart dish that will go on my repeat list of recipes. Let’s get right into it.
Ingredients:
- 1 Purple cabbage
- 5 Star anise
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 cup of vegetable broth
- 3 Tablespoons of sugar (you could use brown sugar here too)
- 1/3 cup of unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- 1 apple peeled and cut into chunks
Procedure:
Here is where you realize just how easy this one is.

Cover the pot and let it come the a boil. It may not seem like there is enough liquid but the cabbage will release liquid during the cooking. When it reaches a boil, reduce it back down to a simmer. let it go for about 25 minutes.
Enjoy everyone!
