In another small bowl, whisk together beet juice, lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, orange zest, cilantro, allspice, cumin, and Muscavado, if using; season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Steps:

• Pull out the soft center of the baguette and pull into small pieces. Reserve the crust for another use. In a saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.

Transfer the breadcrumbs to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to wilt, about 5 minutes. Add the hard cider, stir, cover and cook until the liquid evaporates, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the lid and add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar. Stir constantly until the cabbage is completely tender, about 3 minutes. Season to taste, adding more apple cider vinegar if desired, and top with the sauteed breadcrumbs. Serve immediately.
