How to make Christmas cabbage?

Slice or grate the cabbage into thin strips, leaving out the root part. Then place the cabbage strips in a large pot and add 2 dl of hot water. Stir and leave to simmer under the lid for 10-15 minutes. While the cabbage is simmering, peel and thinly slice the apples and mix into the cabbage. Add 2-3 teaspoons of coconut sugar or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, mix again and then let it sit under the lid for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure the cabbage doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot – add more water if necessary. When the cabbage is ready, season with a little more coconut sugar, salt or lemon juice if you like, and let the cabbage season in the pot under the lid for another 20-30 minutes before serving.
