This Cranberry, Apple and Caraway Red Cabbage is a nice slow cooker side dish for a pork, ham, or sausage meal. Honestly folks, I can see it served with turkey at Thanksgiving too! It's a little sweet and a little tangy, and I believe it can be eaten hot or cold. I also really like the subtle occasional bite of caraway seeds. And this is a great way to use up a little extra cranberry, I always seem to have some in the freezer. As for the amount of sugar, start with 2 tablespoons, cook for a couple hours, stir and taste... Add more if desired, you know your crowd:@) The recipe is easily increased for a larger slow cooker.
