Cut the head of red cabbage in half, then into quarters, and further into manageable wedges.

Use a food processor with a core slicing blade to cut the cabbage into shreds and place it in a bowl.

Cut a red onion into quarters, then slice it in the food processor and place it in a separate bowl.

Peel and quarter two apples, then slice them into manageable cubes.

In a Dutch oven, layer a handful of cabbage, followed by a layer of red onion, then apples, and top with 1/4 cup of raisins.

Repeat the layering process with the remaining cabbage, onions, apples, and raisins.

Season the layers with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of cooking wine, and 1/4 cup of water on top of the layers.

Cover the Dutch oven and place it in a preheated oven at 355°F (190°C) for about 1.5 hours, stirring the cabbage every 30 minutes.

After 1.5 hours, add 2 tablespoons of butter and stir to give the cabbage a glossy finish.
