Not sure what's going on with color of these pictures... The cabbage is actually a purple that's a shade or two darker, but you get the idea:@)
I made a half batch in a 2 quart Crock Pot. You can click the original link to find the stove top instructions. I've given this my coleslaw label because it can be served hot, cold or at room temperature.
German Red Cabbage Recipe-adapted from Taste of Home
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
1 medium apple, peeled and sliced or diced-at least 1/2" dice might be best, the apple cooks down
1 medium head red cabbage, approximately 8 C shredded
1/3 C sugar
1/3 C white vinegar
3/4 tsp salt, optional
1/4 tsp pepper
- Make a couple layers of cabbage, apples and onions in vessel of slow cooker.
- Sprinkle top with sugar, S&P.
- Drizzle vinegar over top, don't stir.
- Place lid on slow cooker, turn to high, leave lid on. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, remove lid, stir and cook for 1 1/2 hours longer on high, or until cabbage is tender. Give it a few stirs during this time.
- Serve hot, room temperature or cold.
This is truly the definition of eating well and having a happy day:@)

Thanks Lynn! I love cabbage :-) Hope you had a good summer.
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law was full German and she used to make red cabbage all the time, but I've never tried it...your slow cooker method sounds good...I often start my slow cooker out on high to get things rolling and then turn it down later

Looks delicious! Recipes like this always remind me of my in-laws---they'd love it, too. Fingers crossed for the Packers :)
ReplyDeleteI love cabbage, too, and eat a salad of it everyday. Your side dish looks so pretty and sounds perfect for Octoberfest.
