4 c. shredded red cabbage
1/4 c. cider vinegar
1/2 c. water
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
2 tart apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 tbsp. sugar

In a saucepan, combine shredded cabbage with all other ingredients, except apples. Cover and cook over moderate heat for 15 minutes, tossing several times so the cabbage will cook evenly. Add apples, and toss again. Cover, and cook 5 minutes longer. Add sugar.

If more water is needed during cooking, add 2 or 3 tablespoons but when the dish is done, all moisture should have cooked away. Yields 6 servings.
