This is a bit of work but worth it. Both my parents became diabetic later in life and we had to find ways to adjust recipes for their health needs.

Ingredients

  • 2 - 28 ounces cans plum tomatoes and juice
  • 28 ounces water
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 - 12 ounces can frozen apple juice, undiluted
  • 5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 6 - peppercorns, whole black
  • 1 - bay leaf
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamon, ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander, ground
  • 2 teaspoons splenda sweetner (or any sweetner without aspertame)
  • 3 pounds boneless chuck for stewing
  • 2 large heads of cabbage, coarsely sliced

How To Make sweet and sour cabbage (diabetic version)

  • Step 1
    Place all the ingredients, except the meat and the cabbage, in a very large pot. Bring to a boil and add the meat. Cook slowly. When meat is almost tender, add all of the cabbage. If more liquid is needed, add a little water.
  • Step 2
    After the cabbage has cooked for a short time, adjust the seasonings - lemon juice and salt for the sweet and sour flavor. Salt is the trick in achieving the sweet and sour flavor, but be careful -just a little at a time.
  • Step 3
    Simmer for an additional 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaf after removing from the heat.
