This tastes alot like a cabbage dish my Hungarian grandparents make, however theirs has a orangey-red colouring. Perhaps they add paprika to it? I did make one mistake by using salt instead of the caraway seeds in the layering process. I did mix in a bunch of caraway seeds when I realized my error, and luckily the dish didn't turn out salty. I omitted the bacon just because I felt it wouldn't add all that much to the dish other than fat. The amount of sugar and vinegar in the recipe was just right to achieve the sweet-sour ratio. Another great way to make cabbage!

Great! My variation was Apple Cider Vinegar and Chinese Cabbage. I prefer the texture of Chinese cabbage.

This is a great cabbage recipe. Since my husband and I are on Weight Watchers, I leave out the bacon and use Splenda instead of the sugar. That cuts the calories, therefore the "Points" and it's still delicious. I like it with a ham slice and some microwaved sweet potatoes for a tasty but simple dinner.

Always looking for good recipes for cabbage. Only change, cut up the bacon into bite size pieces. Love the combination of ingredients and easy to make.

I enjoyed this cabbage very much. The sugar-vinegar mixture is a bit tricky to get just right, but once you do,it is delicious!

I have searched for this recipe for years, finding similar but not exactly the flavor or sauce consistency, until now! Excellent as given or without the bacon which is how I made it today to serve with ham. At long last, the right combination, delicious!
