This is a Delicious Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage, I cut the Recipe in half, worked great,added a little lemon zest, other than that i followed the recipe. Great flavor. Will be making it again as we like it much better than the canned Sweet and sour red cabbage.I am wondering just how well it would can or freeze. Great recipe Mini.

this was very good with a nice sweet/tart flavor. i used a regular onion, and white wine. i also used 2 applesand white wine vinegar. it tastes good cold too.

Probably the best Rotkraut I've ever made. I served it with Rouladen for a family dinner with 12 guests. Even ones who 'didnt like cabbage' loved it.
