  • “This got a big “High-Five” from my Thanksgiving guests (I never hesitate to use them as guinnea pigs!!).My just-turned-21 yr. old nephew even asked me for the recipe and took the left-overs home with him.I usually make a sweet-and-sour German red cabbage dish, but I didn’t have bacon, wasn’t going to run back to the store AGAIN, etc, and then I found this recipe.I used green cabbage, and it might not be as pretty, but it sure went fast.”

  • “I too have made this dish many times, but never with the jelly-what a great addition. The sweet sour flavours are hard to beat.It was wonderful on a cold wintery night, and I’m looking forward to left-overs tomorrow to test your theory Miller. Thanks for another great recipe.”

  • “I am rating this the same day that it is posted because I have made this dish many times and it is excellent the red current jelly gives it a nice tang.The Danes make this recipe a lot but it does lean towards being Swedish.I also use green cabbage and it is equally as good. Of course the red cabbage gives a nice variation of color with other veggies on the dinner plate. Thanks Miller”

  • “This was my first time cooking red cabbage and it was really good. We ate it with perogi’s, wurst and German rye bread from the German deli.It made a great addition to the meal.Very tasty.”
