This came out great. Think that the head of cabbage I had may have been on the small side. Wish the recipie had it by cups of shredded cabbage or by weight. Did shred in a food processor. Used a 12" rondeau pan so it was easy to cook bacon and plenty of room to mix apples onions and cabbage. Came to boil fast slow cooked 30 min a 2 on electric glass top and it was a great soft but crunchy stage (aldentae?). Now I'll play with it as others have to suit our own ideas. Had it with pork chops off the grill.

it is great; hot or cold; hardest part is to shred the cabbage or know what is a medium size head

Very flavorful and filling. I'm on Weight Watchers, so I used turkey bacon bits (very little fat) and olive oil for sauteing. This recipe is now a regular.

Very good and I am not an over the top cabbage fan, the only thing I might change is I will try leaving out the water next time as it seemed to dilute it a little too much. Cooked the cabbage then simmered with pre-cooked keilbasa served as an appetizer. Very easy and very good.

Very good! I did reduce both sugars to 1/3 cup and I still thought that it was a little too sweet. I would reduce the sugar even more next time. I substituted applesauce because I didn't have an apple. I increased the bacon to 6 slices and next time I would increase it even more. I also shredded my red cabbage in my food processor which I would not do again. The cabbage was MUCH too small. I prefer bigger chunks of shredded cabbage that you can only get from hand chopping it.

Followed the exact recipe and took to a potluck. Not even a teaspoonful was left. Froze some and saved for later. Was just as good as fresh and got rave reviews. Can't ask for better than that.

This is really great! The only change I made was using turkey bacon...I bet it's even better w/the real stuff, but it was so tasty this way too. Will make again!

I'm a Dutch girl and my husband is Italian. Sweet and sour cabbage is one of our favorite dishes and, according to MDH, this is "the best I have ever eaten." I made no changes, except one and that is to remove some of the bacon grease and add butter. It was truly delicious. My main recipe for sweet and sour red cabbage from now on. Thanks!
