Red Cabbage with Apples

This dish will make cabbage-lovers out of all those that think they hate cabbage. It's beautiful when served alongside roasted pork or poultry, garnished with deep green parsley against its royal purpleness.
Yield 6 servings

Ingredients

1 small red cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dry red wine or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Parsley sprigs for garnish (optional)
