Usually I make red cabbage with apples and prunes, but I had neither, so I used what I had on hand: dried apricots and oranges. It turned out unexpectedly delicious. As I didn't measure the seasonings exactly (i.e. honey, vinegar, salt, pepper), measurements are just rough guidelines. We had this with oven baked sweet potatoes which was especially delicious.
