Cut cabbage into quarters. Remove and discard the tough central stalk.
Shred the cabbage and put it into a large mixing bowl. Peel and finely
chop the onion and add it to the cabbage. Cut the parsnip and apple into
small pieces, peeling them first if you wish, and add them to the bowl.

Drizzle on the honey. Add a good seasoning of salt and pepper and scant
One half teaspoon caraway seeds. Sprinkle on the vinegar , use 3 tablespoons if
the apple you are using is the dessert variety, just 2 tablespoons if it is
a cooking apple. Mix everything together well using your hands a little
messy, but spoons are not as effective then pile the mixture into a
buttered casserole. Lay a sheet of thickly buttered greaseproof paper
directly on top of the vegetables and cover the casserole with a well
fitting lid to prevent drying out.

Cook at 300 F (150 C) gas mark 2 for about 2One half hours until the vegetables
are beautifully tender, if possible stir the mixture once or twice as it
cooks. Remove the greaseproof paper and check seasoning immediately before
serving. Serve the vegetable mixture just as it is, or top at the last
minute with One fourth pint cold creamy yoghurt or soured cream into which you
have stirred a few bruised and lightly crushed caraway seeds. Or hand round
the bowl of flavoured cream separately, so that those who want it can help
themselves.
