I love it. I used pure maple syrup to sweeten rather than sugar. But it's sooo good!

Delicious

Has anyone canned this recipe?

This is one of our family’s favorite ‘new’ recipes! I make it all the time now. I do add raisins while the cabbage is cooking then add chopped pecans at the end! SO delicious!!

Those sound like great additions!

I would suggest cutting the sugar in half. Also, if using a gas stove, this cook time is wayyyy overkill.

So simple and delicious, even when eaten before that 30 min simmer. Replaced sugar with diced dried apricots. Found that a touch of pink salt brought the flavors out more. Will be making this often. Thank you!

made this recipe...very easy and tasty.

This recipe is a winner. Some recipes also include apples.

LOVE this recipe! I substituted a good size dollop of sweet red pepper jelly instead of sugar and used red wine vinegar……deeeeeee-licious! I will be making this often! So quick and easy to make.

Delicious and easy. Been looking for this recipe for ages and tried so many....Didn't have balsamic so used regular white vinegar.
Made loads, and froze in portions of 2 and reheated perfectly in the microwave. Thank you for this delicious recipe.

You're very welcome, Bella! Glad you liked it!

I added onions and apples and split between apple cider and basalmic … damn fine side with devil-egg potato salad on romaine with a Grillo pickle hot spear and a hunk of BbQ rubbed salmon …

Made this today for an Octoberfest pork roast dinner. It was a big hit with everyone.
Was out of balsalmic so used apple cider vinegar instead. I added a few coriander seeds because i had them. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

So glad you liked it, Trevor!

So happy I found this recipe today. As I‘m making the red cabbage the aroma is bringing me back to memories at my Grandma’s for Sunday dinner. I have done taste testing and this recipe is delicious!!!

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.

Oh wow so u added apples instead of putting sugar? Sounds like a better idea. How did it come out?

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!

Could this be done with green cabbage

Sheena, green cabbage should work nicely here (though without the pretty red color). Enjoy!

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?)
