This is a Delicious Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage, I cut the Recipe in half, worked great,added a little lemon zest, other than that i followed the recipe. Great flavor. Will be making it again as we like it much better than the canned Sweet and sour red cabbage.I am wondering just how well it would can or freeze. Great recipe Mini.

I really loved this recipe because it wasn't as "vinegary" as other recipes of red cabbage I have made in the past. It had a wonderful subtle flavor and I really enjoyed it. I used only the first amount of butter and did not mix any in at the end. I only used two apples and 2 TBS of splenda brown for the sugar. My husband is diabetic and I thought these changes would make it more low carb. I used red wine vinegar for the vinegar. Thank you so much for this recipe.

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
