“this wasn’t to bad. My first attempt at doing this. So needless to say my better half was worried. LOL! Kind of has a Sweet & Sour taste to it. It was a bit to sweet for even me so I may cut down on the Sugar next time. Ah and yes a big head of Cabbage is highly recommended. Also since I didn’t have fresh garlic I used about 1 Tbsp of miniced Garlic.”
