I love sauerkraut cooked in brown sugar. I love it sweet with just a hint of sour. This recipe is the same. Cabbage and peppers with vinegar and sugar give it that sweet and sour flavor. The cabbage gives it a slight crunch, though, unlike kraut. This is known as 'Amish Slaw or Pickled cabbage' as well. It goes great with anything BBQ! I love it on a pulled pork sammie. I have used my food processor to chop the ingredients and I have done it by hand. Either way will work as long as you cut everything fine.
