What is Rödkål
Braised red cabbage, or rödkål in Swedish, is a traditional Scandinavian side dish served during holidays (especially Christmas) and other occasions and get togethers. You’ll find it on almost every julbord (Christmas buffet).
Rödkål is made by slowly simmering finely shredded red cabbage with brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and red currant jelly until tender. It’s seasoned with warm spices like cinnamon, allspice, cloves, or even bay leaves, giving the sweet and tangy cabbage a wonderful holiday flavor. Every family has its own unique take on this dish, so there really are countless ways to prepare it. This is our family&#;s version.
