Hawaiian Hot Pot

from LeAnne Deardeuff

2 tablespoons oil (I used olive)
1 glove garlic minced
1 small onion chopped
1/2 green pepper, seeded and chopped
I small red pepper, seeded and chopped (I only had one green pepper which I used)
Heat oil and saute above until soft.

Add the remaining ingredients:
1 cucumber peeled seeded and chopped
1 stalk celery with leaves chopped
1 cup chopped cabbage
1 large firm apple (granny Smith) peeled cored and chopped
1 tsp ginger
3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar (I put in maple syrup but it wasn't right so I put in that much more molasses. That was the ticket!)
1/4 cup canned crushed pineapple. (I used a half cup chopped fresh)
3 cups beef stock. (I had chicken stock plus I added 2 cups of shredded chicken)
1 cup apple juice
1 cup grapefruit juice. I didn't have either of the above so I juiced a whole grapefruit and a whole apple.

Simmer until cabbage and celery are tender. Serve over hot cooked rice in bottom of bowls. YUMMY!!!
