That is a lot more fancy than i make. Thank you for the great Cast Iron Wednesday recipe, Helga
Love your shirt! HAHA! This is another new one for me, Helga. Cast iron Wednesdays are fun!! Saw Strongs Adventures yesterday.
Writing things down now. Thanks for great recipes and demos! Kay
I love that thick bacon, I couldn't take my eyes off it. That looked so tasty and I could almost smell that yumminess cooking !
That is top notch bacon, they smoke their own meat right on site!
I love sweet & sour red cabbage! Grew up on it, unfortunately I'm the only one in my family now who likes it, so it doesn't make it to my plate often. Thanks for the video, could almost taste it from here! LOL.
Gonna have to get in on the Cast-Iron Wednesday thing, I do most of my cooking in iron
Oh, that's too bad! But honestly, I can eat it all myself anyway, lol. Please do, Cast Iron Wednesday was started by Native Tearz.
Oh heck yes Helga. I love some cabbage. I sure will be making this one. I think I remember my nammy making this for us a long time ago but I don't think anyone saved the recipe. Great CIW for sure .
Once again Helga, another delicious Pennsylvania recipe I never had but I love cabbage and that looks so delicious.
I love cabbage, although I don't eat much red cabbage, never think about it I guess. This sounds very tasty, with the sweet and sour. Great Cast iron Wednesday. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing.
Now that is a Great looking meal/dish.
and I see you are using REAL Bacon with a bit of yummy rind.
Oh wow that looks so good!! When I get off this diet I will definitely be trying it!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello. i love cabbage so much but I've never made it this way or have no idea how it would taste like. I think I should make it so I could find out. The bacon was so nice & thick 💗 Your dinner plate sure got me drooling Helga 😋👍
I think you would like it! Even people who don't like cabbage usually like this!
so glad i found you!
Thank you! Much love to you all down there, I know things have been very difficult!
Yum! this sounds wonderful Helga. I wonder if green cabbage would taste as good (not as pretty, tho). Thanks for sharing this winner! With Love From BanDana Gramma
While I think it would still be tasty, it wouldn't taste quite the same. Red cabbage has a stronger taste than green cabbage that is more mellow, and it's also tougher. So if you do it with green cabbage, you probably wouldn't need to cook it as long. I'll have to try it with green and see what it's like, LOL! Thanks for watching!
Looks really good Helga, i haven't had cabbage in a long time i don't know why lol

Hi Helga
Me again. My wife and I had a dear friend named Jane, God rest her soul. Jane and her husband were old farm people in our Grange. Anyway, Jane made a baked casserole called Sweet Potatoes and Apples. It was worth dying for. We have tried a number of times to replicate it, but unsuccessfully . Have you ever heard of it? Can you make it for your viewers? There seems to be some secret to getting it correct? We've NEVER gotten it to taste right?
Thanks.
God bless:
Dave
Dave, I can honestly say I never heard of it. But, I'll search my local recipe books and see of I can find it!
Hi, sounds just like gree up with in Lancaster county PA, how can i adjust to slow cooker? Happy holidays, Tyvm tc
So, I'll add notes to the directions below that should help you get a similar result in the crockpot. Hope you like it!
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, stir the cider vinegar and sugars until sugars are dissolved. -----Still do this.
Add cabbage; toss to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes.---Still do this.
Meanwhile, in a large frying pan or dutch oven with lid, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. --Still do this.
Remove bacon to paper towels to drain.
the drippings left in the pan, sauté apple and onion until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.--Take the drippings an put in a heated crockpot. add the onion and apple and let them sauté in the drippings with crockpot on high until onions are translucent.
Stir in water and cabbage mixture. -----Then still do this, adding to the crockpot.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes. -------Stir in the remaining ingredients.----This is where you will have to experiment to when the cabbage is tender. I'd expect 2-3 hrs on high.
Sprinkle with reserved bacon before serving.
Made for Christmas, my family is from Lancaster county and love pa dutch and Amish ways, was special to do this for my dad, be last Xmas, it's a must with prime rib for him and he can't make anymore, but glad I found your recipe because I couldn't find family recipes. My kids, grandkids loved it, bless you🙏@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot
Your food looks delicious but I have a quick question, when you add the seasoning halfway through simmering you say @ 7:03 add red wine vinegar and the instructions in the description lists white wine vinegar, I was just wondering which one it is? Keep up the good looking work!
My mistake in writing it, i will correct that. Red wine vinegar is more desirable for this, but in a pinch, you can use the white! Thank you!
Mixing the sugars with the vinegar beforehand until sugar dissolved would save time.
If I'm going to need bacon pieces in a recipe I cut it up before I cook it. It saves making a mess when trying to chop crispy bacon. It seems to cook faster and more evenly.
Yup, it could. Thanks.
