I love cabbage Thanks for this recipe. This is my first time cooking Red cabbage. It's cooking now I added onions and apples and it's not done but I tasted off the spoon and So far it's absolutely delicious.

beautiful recipe, thank you for sharing. My whole family enjoyed this, even the ones that don’t like cabbage 😀

Very very nice recipe, simple and delicious. As the only cabbage eater in our house it gives me excuse to make, others don’t know what they are missing, as smells can be deceptive. Thank you.

This was excellent! It will definetly become a regular side at our dinner table.

Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing ❤️

So glad you like it, Sher!

My late German Grammy use to make this for Christmas dinner every year.
Thanks for rekindling those fond memories.

This was so simple, yet absolutely delicious. I've not had sweet and sour German cabbage in years. Thanks so much for the recipe.

Y'all this is even good cold the next day! Thanks for the great recipe. I did cut sugar to 1T as many suggested. Also added the onion and apple. This is a keeper!

This is a fabulous recipe. I’ll never buy shop made again. My tip for an even more delicious taste add one or two star anise and a few cloves. Amaz

I'm German and this was a staple dish at both my grandparents' dinner tables, so I was anxious to finally try it myself.
It was so easy - excellent - and brought back wonderful family dinner memories!
Thank you. 😊

We're so glad this meets your approval, Ericka!

My grandmother added caraway seeds

I love this recipe, but add a tip. of crushed caraway seed for extra flavor 😋

If cabbage gives you gas, try adding 1/2T caraway seeds!

How cool, Joan! And they also make braised cabbage taste great.

Easy and delicious.
Perfect for our “German night” went great with port schnitzel, German potato salad and of course German chocolate cake. Made it all dairy and gluten free. What a hit!

no water to prevent burning?

Hello Elroy, if needed, you can add a little water to the pan as the cabbage braises to keep it from sticking/burning. Depending on your pan and stove it might not be necessary.

This recipe was delicious. I’m Diabetic so I lower the sugar to 1tsp. It was perfect for me. Yes I will make this recipe again. Thanks Lillie M

Perfect pairing for my schnitzel & spaetzel! I did however, use champagne vinegar (drool) instead of balsamic to mellow the the tartness. Thanks from a German(ish) Iowa boy!

Easy and delicious.

It’s amazing! I added one apple and simmered it with the rest for 30 minutes. Will make it again 10/10

It's simmering now to accompany our sauerbraten. Instead of sugar I used some black currant preserve I had and I had some great aged balsamic. I used to include red currant jelly in my braised red cabbage (Norwegian style) but that product has disappeared from store shelves! Sample taste is delicious!

It was simple to make and so delicious. Will make again. Served with boneless pork chops and a baked potato. Thanks for the recipe

My ex-mother-in-law was raised in Germany and she taught me a few recipes. We had what she called Suss kraut (sweet cabbage) and we used just green cabbage - but it was very similar to this. We used oil for sauteing, and no sugar just salt, vinegar and pepper. My granddaughters love it and it tastes good cold too! Her Kartoffelsalat was amazing too

Perfect recipe; super easy and delicious. I added a bit of salt, but otherwise the recipe was great.

This was so easy and delicious! Reminds me of the way my uncle, who spent 25 years in Germany, used to make it. I bought a large red cabbage and wish I had made the entire head. Thank you for this easy and yummy recipe. Definitely a keeper.

Added some ginger and jerk spice to spice it up

I used olive oil as we are vegan and I added raisins as my mother always did, and she was Austrian.

I really need to reduce calories, big time... couldnt I cook the cabbage in water rather than the butter? That saves 200 calories.
I make something similar, pickled red cabbage. Same idea, no butter, cook the whole cabbage or 2, and add whole cloves, (1 per bottle) I believe the name is Rote Kraut. (spelling?)

My German mom always called it "Blaukraut" - blue cabbage.

I had not eaten red cabbage for ages as I didn't like how it was prepared. Made this recipe tonight and it's changed my mind! Fabulous! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely delicious!!!! Very easy to make!!!great recepe!!!!

I've got pomegranate molasses. Is that too sweet for this dish. The red cabbage is quite bitter here.

Go ahead and add it, sounds like a tasty addition, Matthew.

I am making this in my Crock-Pot.instead of sugar I'm using honey, and earth balance instead of butter. Yup, cabbage keeps your plumbing working!

Hi. Will this recipe turn out well with green cabbage instead of red?

Hi LJ, good question! I'm thinking that the red cabbage is stronger in flavor and holds up better with the sweet and sour sauce, which is why this dish is traditionally made with red cabbage. That said, I haven't tried it with green cabbage so can't give you a definitive answer. If someone reading has tried it with green cabbage, please feel free to chime in.

I substituted fresh lemon juice for the vinegar and added the apples. I think it gave it a softer taste. Love it with pot roast or rouladen.

This is SO good with sauerbraten!

Wow!!! Amazing flavor. Went well with our fish tacos!!!

Is it best server hot or cold?

Hello Tom, this is best served warm as a hot side dish versus cold, like a salad.

My mother was german and we added siz juniper beads, bay leafs, and green apple. I make it the night before because it's always better the next day

Used exact recipe and was loved by all.
Next time, will add onions , bacon grease and apples. Next time will be this Thursday which happens to be Thanksgiving. Yum!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A lot of ppl said they cut the sugar, I wanted a bit more sweet so added about 1/2 tbsp of sugar and I was swooning over this. I made half the cabbage like the recipe called for...I'll be making the other half the same way tomorrow.

I love this quick and easy recipe. Taste delicious

I had to sign up just to comment. My husband requested red cabbage this evening with roast pork and after a disastrous recipe used seven years ago and never cooked since I was dubious of trying another…until this, straight forward with hardly any ingredients I was ready to give it a go. It was unreal! I will definitely be adding this to my go to for a little extra something. Unlike all of the other comments I actually added half an extra teaspoon of sugar and I am unsure whether it was ok because my balsamic was so vinagery but it worked, and worked so well. Definitely a must try.
