1

You will need a large pot or large wok style skillet due to voluminous nature of the shredded cabbage
2

Chop onions thinly and begin carmalizing with 25 ml of butter
3

Chop bacon in small squares and throw in with onions and stir occasionally
4

Thinly shred red cabbage head and begin adding to onion/bacon mixture. Add broth. Note: Start with 250 ml broth and work your way up if needed.
5

Dice apples and add to mix.
6

As cabbage is half cooked down, add balsamic vinegar and sugar. Stir/toss occasionally to ensure even mix. Add salt to taste.
7

Reduce heat and simmer for at least half hour to an hour while tossing mixture. Watch for desired texture of cabbage - some like it soft and some like a bit of crunch. Add additional salt if desired. Add last of butter to bring all the flavours together.
