This is a wonderful recipe for red cabbage...the genuine article. Just as I remember Blau Kraut from my days in Germany. I made 1/2 the recipe, but just as written. Traditionally I've seen it served with hard boiled eggs and cheese as a light supper. I ate it as a side with hamburger patties. -
We made this last night and it got mixed reviews. I have a husband and 3 boys (ages 9, 10, & 13) First off, we couldn't eat in the kitchen because the kids and hubby couldn't handle the smell from making it =) My youngest 2 didn't like it at all. My husband said he wouldn't mind it once in a while. My oldest LOVED it! He thinks next time we should add some cooked pork, and shredded carrots and serve it with rice. He did think there was a bit too much sauce for the amount of cabbage, which should be taken care of if served with rice. I enjoyed it. We will probably make it again, but with something else for the younger 2 to eat as a veg. Thanks for the recipe. -
This was an easy and delicious recipe. I also replaced the sugar with 3 T. Splenda and I found it a bit sweeter than I had hoped, probably since I find balsamic vinegar a little sweet as well. Next time, I'll probably decrease the sweetener and hopefully more of the sourness from the vinegar wil come through. Thanks! -
Honey liked it--took seconds but for me it was intresting.... -
This is a great recipe. I have never made Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage before. I have eaten it, and enjoyed it, but never made it. The butter flavor with the balsamic vinegar is fantastic to begin with, then just a bit of sweet. I made this recipe like you wrote it, but substituted 3 Tbsps. of Splenda for the sugar. We enjoyed eating this dish so very much! Thanks, Carol, for a great recipe.
