my Christmas highlight for years

Knead the red cabbage with apples, vinegar, honey, and salt and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, sauté the onions in the goose fat in a saucepan until translucent, but don’t let it brown, then deglaze with port wine. Add the orange juice and the jelly. Place the cabbage and the liquid in the slow cooker. Fill a spice bag or tea bag with the spices and press them down into the cabbage. Let the slow cooker run on low for 6-8 hours. Mine was great after 6 hours, but my slow cooker also tends to cook hot (3.5 l CrockPot). Remove the spices at the end.
