This is an old family "recipe" that I improvised and came up with ingredient amounts for a family cookbook. You may wish to adjust the amount of vinegar or sugar to your taste.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 6 cups shredded cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Dash black pepper

Directions

Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp; remove bacon, reserving drippings. Set bacon aside. Add cabbage to skillet. Cook over medium heat stirring often until cabbage starts to brown a little. Add remaining ingredients. Cover, lower heat, and cook just until cabbage is tender-crisp. Adjust seasoning; adding more salt and pepper if needed. To serve, spoon the cabbage into a serving dish and crumble the bacon over the top.
