  1. Up here in the "frontier" of northern Wisconsin, I made this in my oven not over an open flame. LOL! I reduced the recipe to half for the two of us. My cabbage slices were about an inch thick, sprayed foil, and sealed up packet. I baked for 75 minutes at 375 degrees and the cabbage was not done. Think another 15 minutes possibly are what was needed but hubby and I had places to be. Or cabbage should have been chunked instead of sliced? Next time, I would omit the butter and sub in apple juice for a healthier approach. Nyteglori, thanks for sharing a historical recipe.

Married mother of twins. I very seldom ever use recipes as they are written, always modifying and adjusting them. Many times I will take three or four different recipes and come up with a new recipe based on those. <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg">
