Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup unsweetened apple cider -- or juice
1 teaspoon Aleppo red pepper -- or 3/4 t. sweet paprika and 1/4 t. cayenne rubbed together with 1 drop olive oil
1 medium head red cabbage -- shredded
1 medium red onion -- finely chopped
1 large red apple -- peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon corn flour -- mixed smooth with 1 tablespooon water

Place apples, and onions on bottom of slow cooker insert. Place cabbage on top.

Mix vinegar and cider together. Add brown sugar; mix until dissolved. Add Aleppo pepper. Mix again. Pour on top of vegetables in cooker insert.

Cover and cook on low 3 - 4 hours until al dente, tender with a crisp bite.

Take a tablespoon of fluid from the pot and mix with corn flour/water mixture and temper. Add another tablespoon of pot fluid. Pour mixture back into slow cooker insert. Mix well.

Turn slow cooker on high and cook with cover off for 30 minutes, or until liquid thickens.

Serve as a side dish with roasted/grilled favorites, over wide eggless noodles with a sprinkling of caraway seeds, over skillet roasted kasha or brown jasmine rice. It makes a great sandwich spread when room temperature on a flavorful brown bread.

Makes 4 to 6 cups, Serves 8

ChupaNote: I like to add a cup or two of shredded carrots at the beginning for more color. If you have red, yellow, orange sweet bell peppers; cut in long very thin strips and add. Feel free to replace the brown sugar with maple syrup or blue agave. Next time, I'll add more red pepper.

I've also made this adding 1 tablespoon of turmeric; adding flavor and color.

If you have the time, caramelize the onions and apples till soft and golden in a tablespoon of butter before adding to the slow cooker. It adds a nice layer of flavor.

If you are gluten-sensitive, replace the corn flour with crushed instant tapioca.
