    Grate the apple and add it to the cabbage. Add Kotányi whole cloves, Kotányi bay leaves, Kotányi juniper berries, sugar, cane sugar, honey, sugar beet syrup and vinegar.

    Cook over a medium heat for approx. 45–60 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with Kotányi sea salt and Kotányi pepper. Adjust the quantities depending on the size of the cabbage.

    Hint:

    Chill it – it tastes even better the next day.

    Finely dice the onions, then prepare the marinade. Heat the broth/beef stock, then simmer briefly with vinegar, sugar, mustard, and onions (warm version).

  6. 6

    Marinate the potatoes while they’re still warm, mixing gently; mash them slightly if needed to help the marinade bind. Let the flavors meld (20 minutes to several hours).

    Hint:

    Garnish with chives.
