Slice the red cabbage, following the grain.

Cut the cabbage into thin strips.

Put 4 tablespoons of butter into a large pot, cutting it into pieces for even distribution.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/3 cup of water to the pot.

Pour in 1/3 cup of distilled white vinegar and bring the mixture to a boil to dissolve the sugar.

Once boiling, add the sliced cabbage to the pot and cover it with a lid.

Transfer the pot to the oven set at 325°F and cook for 1.5 hours.

After 1.5 hours, remove the pot from the oven and grate about half of a Granny Smith apple, aiming for 3 tablespoons of grated apple.

Add the grated apple and 1/4 cup of currant jelly to the cabbage and mix well.

Return the pot to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
