Rotkol mit Apfel From the kitchen of Melinda Hoke, Vice Preside of Philanthropy. A 5th generation German recipe lovingly adapted. Translates to Sweet Red Cabbage with Apples.

INGREDIENTS

2 lbs, fresh head of red cabbage 1 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into matchsticks (I like granny smiths) 2 teaspoons salt, as needed 6 slices of bacon, cut into 1 inch strips 1 bay leaf Possible additions: red wine and raisins or red currants

Place cabbage, briefly, in a bowl of cold water. Then remove and quarter it, removing all the white core, and slice into 1/8 inch strips. Place the strips back into the water. Put the bacon into a dutch oven (preferred) or large skillet over low heat until fat is rendered. Add onion and cook until golden. Remove cabbage from water and add it to the pan. Add sugar, vinegar and salt. Briefly stir entire mixture. Add apples to pot. Cover pan and cook over medium-low heat for 1.5 hours, adding water as needed. During the cooking, sample and adjust flavors to taste. Consider a small amount of red wine, or raisins/ currants (I like the currants). Remove bay leaf before serving.

INGREDIENTS

1 spiral-cut half ham (8-10 lbs) 2 apples, peeled, cored, and cut in very thin slices GLAZE: 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup honey 1 tbsp spicy brown / dijon mustard

1 tbsp rice or cider vinegar 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Pre-heat oven to 325. Mix all glaze ingredients and set aside. Put enough water in the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet or a shallow roasting pan to just cover the bottom of the pan. Place a rack in pan (a cooling rack works great for this!) and place ham, flat side down, on rack. Place sliced apples in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and microwave for 2 minutes. Insert cooked apple slices in ham between spiral cuts, dispersing as evenly as possible (leave a quarter inch or so space between apples.) Cover ham with foil and place in the oven for 1 hour. Remove foil and baste ham with about 1/3 of the glaze. Bake 15 minutes. Glaze with another 3rd of the glaze. Bake another 15 minutes. Turn oven up to 500, baste with remaining glaze and cook another 10 minutes. Let rest for 10-15 minutes. Discard apple slices before cutting the ham. (The apples have imparted their flavor to the ham, so they won't have much flavor – you won’t like them!)
