My friend and I used to go to this little German restaurant that made the best red cabbage. I saw some in the grocery store and decided that I would attempt to make some just like the restaurant. I was amazed how much my dish tasted like the German restaurant's dish. My daughter told me last night that this was almost like eating dessert !!

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium apple, chopped

How To Make simple and delicious german red cabbage

Step 1

In a dutch oven, spray some vegetable spray to coat the bottom of pot. Add the bacon grease and warm on medium.

Step 2

Add the onions and apple cooking for about 5 minutes until the onions are very tender.
Step 3

Add the remaining ingredients, stirring well. Cover with a lid. Continue cooking and stirring the cabbage occasionally on medium heat for 1hr to 1 1/2 hours until the cabbage is nice and tender. Serve the cabbage while hot. You can also cook on low (simmer) for a few hours. If you cook it this way, remember to turn the heat up to medium and let it get hot enough to serve.
Step 4

NOTE: you can cut the sugar content for those watching their sugar intake. Simply keep a 1:1 ratio of sugar and vinegar. For example, do 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of vinegar and add some water (approximately 2/3 cup) or 1/2 cup of sugar to 1/2 cup of vinegar and add about 1/4 cup of water.
