Mom's Sweet and Sour Cabbage

I practically had to hog tie Mom to even give me the ingredients. Most of it is to taste, but the recipe I came up with turned out pretty good. The orginal recipe belonged to Helen Julis Court who had a Czechoslovakian heritage. This version is from the kitchen of Sandy Court Sparks, Ottumwa IA.
