I cut the recipe back to two servings. I didn't precook the cabbage Only light spray of no fat oil, put the raw cabbage & onions in my cast iron pan medium heat covered with tight lid, stirred every couple of minutes after about 15 minutes I added 1 tsp Splenda brown sugar & 1 1/2 tsp caraway seeds The cabbage and onions were wonderful

That little bit of brown sugar makes all the difference. This cabbage is deliciously sweet (but not too sweet). I had no bacon drippings, so I used another 1 tbsp of butter. To me, this was like eating candy! This would be a great recipe to try for someone that isn't fond of cabbage; it may convert you! Thanx for posting this. I'll be making this over and over!
