directions

  • Thinly shred the cabbage and let it soak in a bowl of water.
  • While the cabbage is soaking, chop the bacon and onion.
  • Peel and core the apple, then slice it.
  • Add the bacon (or vegetable oil) to a large pot and sauté until browned (or oil is heated).
  • Add the onion and sauté until golden.
  • Add the apple vinegar to deglaze the pan.
  • Add the honey, spices, apple, and salt.
  • Drain the cabbage and add to the pot, a handful at a time, stirring as you ad it until it wilts a little.
  • Braise the cabbage for up to an hour and a half until the cabbage is soft. If there is liquid left, you can let the cabbage absorb the liquid.

  1. A week or so ago, you sent out a recipe for a cabbage side dish I printed it out and was going to use it for Thanksgiving, but my wife threw it out and now I cant find it. Do you remember what I am talking about ?

  1. Delicious! This is so easy to put together and looks very pretty upon presentation as well. Loved the bacon and apple with caraway, terrific combination! Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT 6 :)
     
  2. I'm not rating this too low b/c I understand that this is probably an acquired taste- but my family DID NOT like this at all. made for ZWT6 and the Xtra Hot Dishes.
     
  3. Yum! Although I've eaten braised cabbage before, this was the first time that I've made it. It was simple to put together and tasted great. I halved the recipe and used the optional ingredients too for a really nice flavor. Thanks Scarlett for a nice treat. Made by an Unruly Under the Influence for ZWT6.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/captain.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/329769/ninja%20bmp.jpg" width=75%> (Zaar World Tour 4) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=cunningcrocodiles.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/cunningcrocodiles.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DSC_0020.jpg"> (Australia/New Zealand Swap #15)
