My bride was born and raised in Bavaria. Our family loves red cabbage. I've adapted her recipe with just the right ratio of ingredients to make it just like hers! The key is using red wine vinegar. This combination of red cabbage, apples, and bacon drippings is classic. Bacon drippings make up the tasty dressing along with the vinegar and some sugar.
