Cider Braised Cabbage and Apples

This is a great fall and winter dish that can be made with mostly locally produced food!  It comes out a bit like a warm cabbage applesauce and is a great reheated leftover.  Yum!

1/2 medium green cabbage, shredded
3 tablespoons oil
2 large or 3 medium apples, peeled and chopped
1 onion, sliced thinly
1 teaspoon juniper berries (optional)
1 cup apple cider
dash apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in skillet on medium.  Add onions and apples and saute, stirring until softening about 15 minutes.  Add cabbage, optional juniper berries, and apple cider.  Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently until cabbage and apples are very soft, about 30 minutes.  Stir occasionally and check amount of liquid, adding a little more if neccesary.  When cabbage is very tender, remove lid, increase heat and add apple cider vinegar.  Boil off remaining liquid, stirring frequently.  Season to taste and serve hot!
