How to make Red Wine–Braised Cabbage and Onions

Heat butter in a 6- to 8-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then cook onion and cabbage, stirring frequently, until wilted and slightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Add wine, water, vinegars, apple, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil.

Wrap peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf in cheesecloth and tie with string. Add to cabbage mixture, then cover cabbage directly with a round of parchment or wax paper and cover pot with lid. Reduce heat and simmer until cabbage is very tender, about 2 hours.

Discard cheesecloth bundle and season cabbage with salt and pepper.
