  • 25 g Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Peel the outer, coarse leaves of the cabbage, and cut it finely without taking the stalk.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the sugar, vinegar and currant juice.
  • Put the cabbage in the pan, put the lid on and let the cabbage steam tender on low heat for approx. 1 hour time. Stir a few times in the pan along the way.
