Rotkohl (Red Cabbage)

3 pounds red cabbage
3 sour green apples
1 large onion
1/4 cup lard
3 cloves
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
4 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup white wine

Peel, then chop up the apples. Put the lard in a large pot. Add onions and cook on medium
heat until browned. Add shredded cabbage, apples, vinegar, white wine, sugar, salt, cloves,
and bay leaf in that order. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for two to three
hours. If there is too much liquid, add a little bit of cornstarch to make it thicker.
