I inherited a wealth of red cabbage from a family garden. This is a GREAT receipe- and a sound foundation for so many variations, depending upon what you have in the cupboard. I used the following: white wine vinegar, bacon fat and grape jelly instead of currant (because I had no currant in the house). I will be making this for many years to come. -
I don't know what happened. I followed the directions exactly and as it was afterwards, it was pretty bitter. Maybe it was the wine I used (a Merlot) but it needed 1/2 c. brown sugar to make it palatable to us. After that it was pretty good with BBQ pork chops, maybe a 4 star, but as written it is a 3 star. -
Tastes just like my mother's red cabbage. Excellent!! -
I have made this recipe four times and this has very quickly become a requested dish to have with any pork served at my house. I didn't have the red current jelly so just used what jelly was in the fridge still good. Definitely a keeper. -
Great. Fast and easy to make. I substituted Bacon Grease for Crisco. It definitely a keeper in our family. Helga Petersen

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
