Excellent side dish! It's a great way to use red cabbage and serve next to a main protein. I've served it with pork and venison. Thanks for posting!

I served this side dish with pork. This is a fast side dish to make while your main course is cooking. My husband ate it cold the next day with his sandwich. Made for More Than Sauerkraut And Dumplings 2012

This is going to be the recipe I use to make red cabbage. It's simply delicious and tastes closer to my Mother's than any other I've tried. I had about 7 cups of shredded cabbage therefore I increased the amount of onion, vinegar, cloves and wine a bit. I used the smaller amount of sugar and look forward to trying this dish with apple jelly in the future. Thankyou for posting!

Delicious. Thank you so much. I didn't even use red cabbage..I used ready-made coleslaw, as it was what I had on hand....the flavor was still delicious...and it was still a pretty pinkish purple color.
