Witchcraft's blog: "Recipes - Yum!"

You just know with a name like Eisenhart, there's going to be an old-world German recipe thrown in here somewhere, modernized a bit ~ maybe even simplified for the Crock Pot? Well.. Here's one:

Rhineland Sweet and Sour Cabbage

4 slices bacon, diced (Speckstreifen)

1/4 cup brown sugar (braune Zucker)

2 Tbsp flour (Allzweckmehl)

1 tsp salt (salz or Tafelsalz)

1/8 tsp pepper (Pfeffer)

1/2 cup water (Wasser)

1/4 cup vinegar (Weinessig)

1 medium head red cabbage (Rotkohl) shredded ~ about 6-8 cups

1 small onion, finely chopped (Zwiebel)

Cook bacon in skillet and set aside. Combine 1 Tbsp of bacon drippings in Crock Pot with sugar, flour, salt and pepper. Stir in water and vinegar. Add cabbage and onion. Cover and cook on Low 3-4 hours. Spoon into serving bowl and sprinkle cooked bacon on top. Makes 6-8 servings.
