Heat oil in a Dutch oven and saute onions 3 minutes. Add cabbage and immediately pour vinegar over cabbage to prevent it from losing its red color. Sprinkle with salt and sugar. Add chopped apple or applesauce and a piece of salt pork. Pour in red wine and hot beef broth. Cover and simmer for 45 to 6 minutes. Cabbage should be just tender, not soft.
Shortly before end of cooking time, remove salt pork; cube and return it to the cabbage if desired. Correct seasonings and serve
