Eat this with applesauce and boiled potatoes. Yum! Thanks for this recipe - brought back good memories of my childhood.

Just like my mother used to make it! Or pretty close! I liked the hint of cloves! Made for SWT2019

Wow - this cabbage is soooo good! We eat red cabbage quite frequently, and I'll never buy a jar again. It really came together much faster than the recipe states, and tastes much better than the jarred stuff. I didn't find it too sweet or too sour - it was just perfect! I used apple cider vinegar. Maybe we're big eaters, but in our case this makes for four servings - the two of us ate about half of it. Thanks for posting - this is a keeper!

I really liked this dish, though my family didn't like it as much. That may be due to the fact that I have never served them red cabbage of any kind. I used a small head of red cabbage, Splenda instead of sugar, and I used rice vinegar. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
