Slow Cooker German Red Cabbage and Pork Ribs

"From Glutenfreely.com. I used bone-in ribs and picked them out, then reused them to make pork broth in the slow cooker overnight. Very tasty. I also let it cook for 9 hours and it wasn't dry."

  1. Used standard bacon and used one hour in a pressure cooker rather than 6 hours in a slow cooker. I also used pork ribs with the bone in. Great recipe, very savory and great when served with german potato dumplings and a glass of beer.
     
  2. Absolutely delicious! I have a fast method- after sautéing pork ribs in instapot, I put all other ingredients, prepared as instructed, in the Instapot and slow cooked 2 hours on High. Then pressure cooked 10 minutes. The apple juice/vinegar recipe sauce needed to be doubled otherwise not enough to cover and flavor the pork and cabbage. All in all we loved it!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
