  1. I'm nervous that there won't be enough liquid. Was chicken broth accidentally omitted from the recipe?
     
  2. Can the recipes be printed?

  1. I love cabbage! Cooked, raw, red or green, I love it & it paired really well with the pork. I didn't have a shoulder thawed, but I did have a tenderloin that I could nuke-thaw and then get it cooking so it'd be ready when we got home from a baseball game last night. There just wasn't a flavor in this dish that didn't work. I think it may be a tad sweet for some people I know, but I thought that was balanced nicely by the cider vinegar. Since we used a tenderloin, the meat shredded easily and we were wishing we'd had rolls or buns to make sandwiches out of. This is a super easy & tasty dish that could be made for large crowds. The red cabbage took on the flavors of everything else, so I think even cabbage haters could eat this one. My toddler sure did! :) Thanks for posting, TJ! Made & enjoyed for ZWT-6 Team Xtra Hot Dishes!
     
  2. This is an intensely flavorful dish. I love the tang of the apple cider vinegar and the sweetness of the brown sugar. The red cabbage and onions dissolve in your mouth when you eat it, and the pork is incredibly tender. I have eaten this by itself, however I love it as a taco filling. I get crispy taco shells and fill it with this pork, some salsa verde, tomatoes and shredded lettuce and a touch of cheddar cheese. I can see this being eaten as a sandwich as well. Incredibly economical and a short list of ingredients. This is a keeper, thank you so much for sharing!
     
  3. This was very good. The meat was falling apart and the cabbage took on the great flavors. My DH found this to be a lil' too sweet- so I will adjust the sugar but he has never eaten this before & I am so glad this is the recipe I used to "try it out" on him. Will be making this again! Made for Xtra Hot Dishes of ZWT6.
     
  4. I got a late start on this and didn't feel comfortable having it simmer during the night. I pulled out my pressure cooker, followed the recipe unaltered, then threw everything in set it for high pressure, gave it 55 minutes, let it release pressure naturally, and it was amazing! I love this recipe! It's easy and takes me back to supper at nana's on Sunday's. I served it German style over mashed potatoes and was in heaven!
     
  5. Made it exactly as recipe stated, and it was delicious. Both of my kids ate it happily, and one of them is super picky. My husband said the sandwich he made from the leftovers the next day was good enough to be on a restaurant menu. I am making it again right now, with the addition of carrots.

<p>Hi,&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp; have three grown up kids and&nbsp;7 &nbsp;grand kids&nbsp;1&nbsp;greatgrandchild and an other on the way. I work p/t as a cleaner in a large office, and sometimes I help as tea lady and I do a bit of reception duties not a lot just a bit, I tend to cut people off in error of course.&nbsp;I have a wee dog called Molly, and is&nbsp;so so naughty, but we love her to bits even if she won't do as she is told. She is a cross between a poodle and a jack Russell and is now&nbsp;four years old. I love my garden and growing everything&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I just have a small plot, so I like things that grow well in pots, and of course cooking. I love all cook books so I cant pick one but I have one that I refer to a lot Delia Smith's complete cookery course, a good all rounder. I have discovered that I am now diabetic and have had to change my eating and cooking habits I now try to go for the healther option rather than all the cream, butter and sugar, and I have lost 32 pounds, and feel so much better. My mum and all her family were diabetic and so far I am the only one of 8 kids to get it, just my luck, but in a way it's a blessing, as I now have a healthy diet not like before stuffing my face with all sorts. my peeves are I don't like cruel or rude&nbsp;people that don't consider other peoples feelings and&nbsp;opinions, manners and a smile don't cost a penny, so why be greedy and not spread a bit of happiness about, I am quite a softy at heart but don't mess with my kids or grand kids I am&nbsp;very protective of them and would do anything for them,&nbsp;&nbsp;as I always tell my grandchildren it's nice to be nice makes you feel good and we all like that, I used to run a bakers shop and the old folks that came in were so lonely sometimes you were the only&nbsp;person that they spoke to in days or weeks so a smile and a friendly wee chat&nbsp;would make there day so if I can make one person smile in a&nbsp;day that would be great &nbsp;and I have brought my kids up to think the same and the grand kids too.I am married to my dear old man for 40 years this may and can't believe where all the years have gone, they do say time passes fast when you are having a good time so I guess I am having a good time DH said I am having a good time when I am telling him what to do, I say&nbsp;I'm just keeping him right&nbsp;so he will be happy well that my story and I am sticking to it. he he he. .&nbsp;<img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Banners/AMBadgeGenTP2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gif border=0 alt=Photobucket />[/ <br /><br /><img src=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/ThymeSticker.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Herb1BaySTKR.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp330/LadyBlueNose/Contest%20Banners%20-%20Feb%202010/RSC15Bannersusieb-1-1-1-1.jpg alt= width=300 height=132 /></p>
