Steps

3-4hours high or 6-8hours on low

1

Thinly slice your cabbage and red onion. Dice your butter. Place your spices in a cheesecloth and tie up as a little spice money bag.
2

Mix your prepared vegetables with the rest of the ingredients (except spices). Place into your slow cooker and nestle the spice bag into the middle of the mixture.
3

Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stirring occasionally. For the last part remove lid and turn up to reduce the cooking liquid to a rich coating consistency.
4

Spread out and allow to cool. Store in suitable containers and use as needed.

Tips

Note: If you don’t have a slow cooker. This can be done on the middle shelf of the oven in a casserole dish with a tight fitting lid at 160c for approx 3hours. Again bring out and stir occasionally during the cooking process.
