Step 1

Chop onion. In a large pot with cover, I used a dutch oven, melt the butter and add the onions. Saute over medium heat for a couple of minutes until the onions are translucent.

Step 2

Quarter the cabbage and shred into small strips. Add to the pot with the onion. Saute, stirring occasionally for about 5 more minutes.

Step 3

Grate in the apples and add the vinegar, water, salt, nutmeg, coves, pepper and raisins. Cover and cook over low heat for about an hour.

Step 4

Remove lid and continue to cook until the cabbage is soft and the liquid is reduced to your liking.

Step 5

Stir in the lemon juice and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
