    I discovered cabbage later in life. This recipe makes for a sweet/sour cabbage that is good hot, at room temperature and right out of the fridge. Please visit my blog http://inhomegourmet.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/its-like-shopping-for-shoes/ on what I prepared with this cabbage.

    Ingredients

    • 1 head of purple cabbage sliced crosswise for long slivers with white core removed
    • 8 thick slices of really good bacon, diced in 2" squares
    • 1 large yellow onion, diced medium
    • 2 Apples, whatever kind you have on hand, peel, cores removed, diced medium
    • 1/4C good red wine vinegar
    • 1/2C brown sugar
    • Salt and Pepper to taste

    Directions

    1. Dice raw bacon and place in cold pan (use a dutch oven or 5 qt. pan) and then cook over medium to medium low flame. If bacon is too lean add some olive oil. Allow to cook about half way to crisp.
    2. Add diced onion and cook until bacon is crisp.
    3. Add all of red wine vinegar and de-glaze pan
    4. Add diced apple . Stir and cover pan. Cook until apple is tender, about 5 min.Taste your mixture. Add Salt and Pepper to taste.
    5. Add cabbage, stirring to coat cabbage with mixture.
    6. Add brown sugar starting with 1/4C first. Combine and allow ingredients to meld for a couple of minutes, taste and then add more brown sugar if needed. Depending on the apples you use will really determine how much brown sugar you need.
    7. Cook for a minimum of 5 minutes allowing the sugars to dissolve. Do not over cook as the cabbage should still be crisp.
