This recipe is simple and tastes great--even my husband looks forward to it and he is not a fan of cabbage! Followed the recipe exactly as written. Hint: I cut the rest of the bacon slices into appropriate sized chunks and freeze them separately. I don't tend to keep bacon on hand--this way I always have it around for this recipe! I don't even thaw it, just throw it in the pan frozen.

I wanted a basic olive oil and vinegar dressing and this one is perfect. I used regular balsamic because it is what I had on hand. I did add 1 t. sugar, but I think this would have been great without it as well.

I use this recipe often. I make it with a whole chicken instead of parts and use the cooked meat in other recipes. I double the ingredients (omitting the salt) and use enough water to cover the chicken by an inch or so in an 8 quart stockpot. Once cool, I freeze in individual containers. Well worth the effort!
