Here’s something to hit that sweet and sour craving.
My csa boxes have been filled with cabbages for many months now, and this easy recipe I came up with has become an addicting favorite.
Equally good with red or green cabbages.
Slice cabbage and bacon into 1/4″ strips.
Fry bacon until it is about halfway done.
Now mix in all the cabbage.
Add apple cider vinegar (the sour) and apple juice (the sweet). Stir it all up.
Cover it and cook 15 to 20 minutes, lifting up the lid to stir occasionally.
Cook until all the liquid has mostly evaporated, and the cabbage is tender. If you like your cabbage softer, keep adding little water and cooking until it is as soft as you desire.
Forget the corned beef and potatoes tomorrow–here’s my pot of gold!
Hope you have a lucky day tomorrow~
