- 25 minutes to make
- Serves 6
This is a traditional Swedish Christmas dish. The tart jelly is important to this dish. Also what you don't want is overcooked mush. Since the apples are added first, they cook the longest. To briefly delay their cooking, I think, keeps the apple pieces distinct from the cabbage and onion. Read more See less
