Wow! This recipe brought back memories. Dad was German. Mom was Slovak. Your recipe reminded me of the way Dad prepared red cabbage. Using white cabbage with pork reminded me of Mom. I had to try your recipe and wasn't disappointed. DH wants it to be a "Keeper". I do too. I didn't use the caraway seeds. (DH and I would rather not - even though we know it's a favorite spice in many countries.) The German Pork and Cabbage Casserle is "Wonderful" without it. DH is a Diabetic. This a great a great low carb supper for him, Thank you.<br/><br/>Update: 10/12 - Made again. Still used white cabbage (all I had), but, this time I only used 1/2 Cup Apple Juice 1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinagar. The result was "Fantastic"! This a "keeper" forever. Thank you, thank you.
