SweetSour Red Cabbage Ingredients:
1/2 cup cider vinegar,
1/4 cup sugar,
1/4 cup packed brown sugar,
1 head of red cabbage, shredded (10 cups),
2-bacon strips, diced,
1medium tart apple, peeled and chopped,
1/2 cup chopped onion,
1/4 cup water,
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or cider vinegar,
1/2 teaspoon salt,
1/4 teaspoon pepper,
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
In a large bowl, stir the cider vinegar and the sugars until sugars are dissolved. Add the cabbage; toss to coat. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, reserving drippings. In the drippings, sauté the apple and the onion until tender. Add water and the cabbage mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncover, for 5 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with reserved bacon just before serving.
