Rotkohl (Red Cabbage and Apples)

2 tbls butter or margarine
1/2 head red cabbage, shredded
3 tbls lemon juice
2 apples, peeled and diced
2 tbls red currant jelly (grape jelly can be substituted)
2 cloves (or 1/8 tsp ground cloves)
About 1 cup vegetable broth/bouillon

In large pot, melt butter. Add cabbage and pour the lemon juice over the cabbage to preserve color. Add apples, jelly, cloves and about 1/4 cup of vegetable broth.

The cabbage should not be overcooked. Remove from heat and serve.
