Quick supper dish taught to me by momma's lifelong friend, Lois. She had three boys and this was one of their favored meals along with a plate of fried potatoes. Those boys ate well.
Ingredients:
1 med to large head of red cabbage
1 large onion slivered
2 heaping tablespoons of bacon fat (quiet diet police)
2 tart apples, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/3 to 1/2 cup of light brown sugar
1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
1 1/2 cup of water
1 big ring of kielbasa cut in 2 inch chunks
Directions:
1. Remove outer tough leaves of cabbage and wash well.
2. Core cabbage and shred.
3. Melt bacon fat. Remove from fire.
4. Add cabbage, onion, apples, water and remaining ingredients (except the kielbasa chunks).
5. Simmer, covered for one hour.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning.
7. Add kielbasa and simmer another half an hour.
8. You may want to thicken the liquid ever so slightlly with a tablespoon of corn starch mixed with some cold water and add it when you add the kielbasa and let it come up to the boil and reduce back down to low heat for the duration.
9. Love this served with pan fried cubed potatoes on the side.
