"This is and old receipe that I got from a receipe card. I like to serve it with sauerbraten. The sauce is very tasty. I like to serve it hot. I have tried several receipes for sweet-sour cabbage and this is my favorite. My husband loves this and my family will not eat the canned cabbage anymore. I like to make it day before using, taste better and give more time to the rest of the meal."
