CHARLOTTE'S RED CABBAGE 
This recipe is even better the 2nd day, but is really easy to make while cooking a big fancy Holiday dinner so I usually make extra for leftovers.

It is also better if you let it scorch just a bit a few times.

2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. sugar
medium red cabbage
1 tbsp. vinegar
2/3 cup water, divided
2 tbsp. currant (or any red fruit) jelly

Chop or julienne cabbage.

In heavy bottomed pot melt butter. Add sugar til just browning. Stir in cabbage and coat thoroughly, add 1/3 cup of water and vinegar, reduce heat to low.

Cook uncovered for 2 hours on low heat stirring thoroughly every 15 minutes or so, adding remaining 1/3 cup of water when cabbage is beginning to scorch/stick.

Remove from heat and add currant jelly to finish.

This is delicious and low fat/sugar. Thanks Mom!
