Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage image

Authentic and tasty! I found this in a recipe book in my Grandma's library (A World of Good Eating). I haven't been able to find a reprint of the book but the recipes are quite delicious.

This was a good recipe, but I found the sauce to be a little too sweet for my taste. Next time I will cut back on the sugar.

I wasn't sure how I would like this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cabbage was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover red cabbage. I usually make a double batch and freeze half of it for later.

I love this recipe! The cabbage is always so tender and the sauce is so flavorful. I usually add a little extra pineapple to the sauce for a sweeter flavor.
