Directions

Heat the fat in a pot and fry the onions until transparent. Add red cabbage and steam for a few minutes. Add 1 bay leaf, 2 juniper berries, cinnamon, broth, red wine and vinegar and season with salt. Bring to the boil, cover and stew for about 1 1/4 hours

    Peel, wash and chop the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until soft. Peel and quarter apples and cut out the core. Cut apple quarters into thicker slices. Add apple slices and jelly to the red cabbage about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time

    Heat the milk. Drain the potatoes. Add the milk and 2-3 tbsp. of the bacon stock to the potatoes and mash them coarsely. Season to taste with nutmeg and possibly a little salt.
