Add water and salt. Cover and bring to a rapid boil; continue boiling for about 3 minutes, stirring so that all pieces have contact with the water. Add remaining ingredients. Boil, uncovered, slowly on low heat and stir occasionally to avoid scorching until mois- ture is mainly done and cabbage is shiny and caramel colored. This may take 2 hours. It should be tangy-sweet. You can add more sugar, vinegar or butter to suit, but do not add less. This keeps well for a long time in the refrigerator and can be frozen.
