Sweet and Sour German Red Cabbage

 1/2 large red cabbage, sliced 1/4 -inch thick

2 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp sugar

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1.  Saute the cabbage:  Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.  Add the thinly sliced red cabbage and toss to coat with the butter.  Saute until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.

2.  Add seasonings and simmer:  Sprinkle sugar over the cabbage and toss to coat evenly.  Add the balsamic vinegar to the pot.  Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low.

Cover and simmer until the cabbage is completely tender, stirring often, about 30 minutes total.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
