If you're looking for a recipe for red cabbage that starts from scratch, then check out my own red cabbage.Yes, this is what my son asks for when he comes for a visit. He'll ask for red cabbage ... and not the jarred one. He can really taste the difference.

Personally, I like both. But, as a Mutti and Oma, I'll make the 'from-scratch' kind when family comes!

Gerhild Naggert's comments ...

By using jarred or canned red cabbage, you can forget about the red-stained hands you get by grating the red cabbage. As well, the cooking time is reduced.

Gerhild Naggert says that she's often asked for her recipe, so she's happy to shareit. Since it freezes well, she always has at least 2 to 3 packages in the freezer for emergencies. The microwave is great for reheating it.

Below, you'll find the translated version, complete with the weight/volume conversions for the ingredients.
