Try throwing in a handful or two of dried cranberries at the end, after it is cooked and resting on a simmer plate on very low heat.
replace some of the sugar with honey and add some red wine to the onions and cabbage and let reduce the wine

This is yummy. Served this in soup bowls with mixed greens in the bottom (stay with me here) dressed with a bit of vinaigrette, then spaetzle noodles, then a ladling of the cabbage on top. Lovely. My carnivore husband enjoyed it immensely, as did I, the vegetarian spouse. Without the butter, the vegans would cheer.
We tried this cabbage dish as part of our winter solstice supper celebration tonight, and my husband and son really liked it. I followed the recipe almost exactly, but it seemed just a bit dry so I gradually added another 1/2 c. of water with a splash of red wine. I plan on making it again.
