Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed in the recipe as is. I followed the directions exactly for the crock-pot and it came out pretty bland. I was hoping it would taste like the red cabbage at my favorite German restaurant. I think if this recipe was tweaked it would be better... or maybe the stove-top preparation would have more flavor. Sorry, I really wanted to like this one.

Great recipe and easy to make! I cooked in the crock pot (you need a large one) on high for about 6 1/2 hours. The only thing I changed was adding a 1/2 cup of ruby port about 1/2 through the cooking time. I have made other cabbage recipes that used port and just couldn't resist adding some. I used 4 green apples and it was delish. I have 2 pkgs frozen for future dinners. Thanks French Tart!

Wow, did everyone at my dinner party ever LOVE this dish!!! My husband's family is 100% German/Pennsylvania Dutch and we had a Venison Roast and I made this as one of the side dishes. Everyone raved about it!!! I only used three onions because 4 seemed like too much, but when I inquired to one of the guests if they thought there was enough onion in the dish he said "I think you could use even more". So, follow the recipe as is and you'll be great! Thanks for this wonderful recipe!

Really good! This makes 10 servings as FT indicates, and lucky me I get it all because DH doesn't like cloves and so I froze serveral packets for future use. I used a slow cooker and cooked for 5 hours on high before dipping in for a serving. This is as close to the way I remember my mother's red cabbage tasting as I have ever been able to make. That deserves a special thank you! I used powdered clove, but perhaps will use whole cloves next time as my mother used to.
Thanks for your wonderful recipe, FT.

Was very tasty, and I am planning to freeze the leftovers for a quickie dinner. However, it seemed to be missing something that would make it great. Can't figure out what it is, but if I ended up with another head of red cabbage (from my CSA), I know what I'll be making.

Very tasty and it used up all the red cabbage in my garden! Used apples, pears, and cranberries. The pears melted into the dish and the apples & cranberries retained some shape/texture. I froze it in 3 cup portions so we can have an easy side dish to serve with pork chops, ham or turkey.

I made the crock pot version, we really liked it but it seemed like there was something missing, either my onions were to strong and I only used half what was called for, or my apples were not sweet enough. It lacked the sweetness I desired and had an edge that I didn’t like. The spices seemed right, I froze half of it so when I take it out I am going to add some more apple and see if that is what I am missing . Thanks for the recipe I will be making it again because I love spiced red cabbage.

I made this for the big Christmas dinner and it made the whole house smell wonderful!!
It tasted pretty good too... although mine never really turned a lovely shade of red... just stayed purple...
I used a combo of 2 apples and 2 pears since my mom doesn't really like apples... I also threw in a handful of cranberries to the mix for good measure!
This recipe makes A LOT!!! and no one really ate it, but my grandfather... so I have a lot left over... and now my refrigerator smells like cabbage...
I might make this again just for my grandfather, but for a big dinner where I need to please everyone... I might stick with something more traditional!

I made this following the recipe to a T and no one liked this. We just didn't like the flavor. It sure was a pretty dish though. I think the cinnamon and cloves overdid it a bit.

Made my partner a special dinner for his birthday. He loves pork schnitzel, so I made some along with spaetzle and homemade mushroom gravy. He also requested red cabbage, which I've never made so I turned to trusty 'zaar and found this wonderful recipe! The only change that I made was to chop and fry some bacon and add that ontop of the ingredients in the crockpot. It only took 3 hours in my crockpot on low. Thanks for sharing!

Very good and easy!! I used the crock pot and forgot to layer, so halfway thru I just stirred really well. Made for ZWT 4.

02/21/08 - This is a really good red cabbage recipe. I miss red cabbage (I go right on by it at the grocery store), and don't know why. This dish brings back memories of the wonderful aroma and taste of a very simple vegetable, and with the apples, I think I'll be eating it again more often now. -------- 05/22/08 Made this again tonight using 2 apples and 2 pears. Yummy!

There was no flavor to this recipe, luckily my wife was able to add a few items and it was delicious.

This was super easy to make. I hadn't had red cabbage before, so I didn't quite get the flavor. But that is just me. I made if for a German dinner I made for my dad, he liked it. This made a LOT of cabbage. I think I would have cut down the recipie if I had known.

This makes a whole lot and I am looking forward to stocking my freezer and having delicous leftovers throught the winter. The flavors all blend really well together. It may sound weird, but this is delicious as a topping to hamburgers. Thanks French Tart!

Made this as a side dish in honor of opening day of Oktoberfest. I still cannot believe that I found an authentic red cabbage dish. Had friends over who have never tasted this and they loved it. Thanks so much--took me back to being in Munich.
