Cabbage: Undeniably the most humble vegetable you can grow effortlessly in your garden. It is sturdy, prolific, nutritious, stores well and a single head can feed the masses. The ruling classes should drop to their knees and give thanks for cabbage. Cabbage is the reason the working class folks are still there to serve their every petty whim (potatoes run a close second). On that note... tonight we are having braised pork tenderloin with a family recipe for red cabbage that is at least 100 years old.
100 year old red cabbage recipe
You will need 2 cups chopped red cabbage
2 tbs diced onion
1 diced apple (I recommend granny smith, but any apple will do. Peal or not peal ..its up to you)
1 tbs brown sugar
2 tbs vinegar
2 tbs oil ( I like olive oil myself but I've experienced it with bacon fat and.. surprise its just as yummy)
1 tbs butter (optional)
Put oil (and butter) in a skillet and heat it to medium When butter is melted add all other ingredients and saute until onions are clear.
This recipe takes to canning very well without turning to mush... but I recommend a pressure cooker for sealing as a water bather does not get hot enough
