Quarter the cabbage and remove the stalk. Then finely chop the cabbage. Add the apple cider vinegar, 2 pinches of salt, and the pinch of sugar, and knead thoroughly. Chill the cabbage, ideally for 24 hours. Dice the onions and sauté in clarified butter. Add the red cabbage. Add the applesauce, chicken stock, and the spices in a tea bag. Let the red cabbage simmer for a good 2-3 hours. Peel the potatoes, finely grate them, and stir them into the red cabbage. Cook the red cabbage with the lid on for another 10 minutes, until the potato starch thickens and the red cabbage takes on a nice sheen. Remove the spices. Season the red cabbage with salt, pepper, and blackcurrant jelly to taste.
