This nicely spiced cabbage-and-apple medley has always been a favorite side dish on our holiday dinner table. We love the sweet-tangy flavor and eye-catching color.

Ingredients

1 medium head red cabbage, shredded
1 medium apple, peeled and thinly sliced
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 bay leaves
4 whole cloves
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Place cabbage and apple in a 6-qt. stockpot. Add sugar, salt, rosemary and pepper; toss to combine. Let stand 40 minutes to allow juices to release from cabbage.
Place bay leaves and cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth. Gather corners of cloth to enclose seasonings; tie securely with string. Stir into cabbage mixture.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 30-35 minutes or until cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar and lemon juice; heat through. Discard spice bag.
