Ingredients

4 slices bacon, thinly sliced
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 large or 2 small heads red cabbage (about 3 pounds), cored and thinly sliced
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into bite size pieces
2 to 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Cook the bacon until crisp, over medium heat in a large Dutch, that has a lid, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, cinnamon, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high, add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 8 minutes. Add the apple, broth, vinegar, sugar, the remaining salt, and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 1 hour.

Uncover; bring to a boil, and cook, stirring, until the liquid has reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve.

Braised Red Cabbage
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved the recipe. The only thing I would change for German Tradition is that it should have equal parts Red Wine and Wed... wine Vinegar, Otherwise it is good. Read more

I could eat the whole pot!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so easy and delicious! My husband even took seconds (and he claims to hate cabbage). I used a can of beer instead... of chicken stock and extra bacon. Went fabulously with the Pancetta-wrapped Pork Loin Roast from Giada (where I swapped wine for beer and bacon for pancetta). I couldn't get enough of this pickled cabbage!Read more

The Best Cabbage EVER
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I put a corned beef in the crock pot..I really dont like cabbage, but my husband does..I got a red cabbage because it's... always so much better than the green...There wasn't room for the cabbage, so I found this recipe..So easy and SOOOO good...It reminds me of the red cabbage my German grandmother made many years ago...She put raisins in hers and you could do that with this recipe too if you wanted to..I will make this again and again...Read more
