Sweet and Sour German Red Cabbage image

This recipe is the closest I have found to the red cabbage my grandmother made. I hated it as a kid. I had to sit at the table until I ate at least 2 spoonfuls - I would rather have died. Now, I love it!!! I serve it with Recipe #59717 and smashed redskin potatoes. An absolutely wonderful autumn meal.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but this recipe changed my mind! The sweet and sour flavors were perfectly balanced, and the cabbage was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The cabbage was mushy and the sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The cabbage was a bit too tart for my taste, and the sauce was a bit too sweet. I might try it again with some adjustments.
