1. Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C.

2. Grease a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish with a generous amount of butter.

3. Peel the cabbage and chop it into thin strips. Be sure to remove any tough or woody parts that may be unpleasant to eat.

4. In a large bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of white pepper. Mix everything together until the cabbage is evenly seasoned.

5. Next, add a drizzle of light syrup and some water to the bowl. Mix the ingredients together until the cabbage is well coated.

6. Now, transfer the cabbage mixture to the prepared skillet or baking dish. Cover it with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

7. After 30 minutes, remove the foil from the skillet or baking dish and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes. The cabbage is done when it's tender and lightly caramelized.

8. While the cabbage is baking, prepare the lingonberry sauce. For those unfamiliar, lingonberries are a type of sweet-tart Scandinavian fruit often used in jams and preserves. Since they're quite flavorful on their own, simply rinse them and serve them raw alongside the warm cabbage pudding.

9. Finish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve it hot, accompanied by a side of rice or Swedish meatballs if you like.
