This delicious, tangy red cabbage makes a great side dish for pork, roast beef, or ham.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium head red cabbage, about 2 1/2 pounds
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • dash ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
  • diced cooked bacon, optional

Preparation:

Remove outer leaves of cabbage; cut into wedges and cut out core. Using a food processor or sharp knife, shred the cabbage. Slice onions; peel and core apples and slice thinly. Combine cabbage, onions, and apples in a large saucepan. Add bacon drippings and butter. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring to coat with the fats. Add remaining ingredients; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes. Uncover and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes longer, until excess juices have evaporated. Toss with some diced cooked bacon just before serving, if desired.
Serves 6.
