Cooking w/Kal: Sweet-Sour Red Cabbage

Sweet -Sour Red Cabbage

 

 

 

 

1/2 cup Cider Vinegar

1/4 Cup White Sugar

1/4 cup Brown Sugar (packed)

1 medium Red Cabbage (chopped, about 10 cups)

2 - 4 strips Bacon, diced

1 medium Apple (tart) peeled & chopped (I use any kind)

1/2 cup Onion, chopped

1/4 cup Water

2 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar or additional Cider Vinegar

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Pepper

1/8 teaspoon Ground Cloves

In a large bowl, stir the cider vinegar and sugars until sugars are dissolved. Pour over the chopped cabbage, toss and set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and keep the drippings in the pan for the apple & onion.

Saute the chopped apples and onion till tender. Add the water and cabbage mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients (except the bacon). Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes or until cabbage is tender. Sprinkle with reserved bacon just before serving. Makes 8-10 servings.
