Jack Scalfani gets some German going with this simple side dish.Here is the recipe:Ingredients:3 1/2 lb red cabbage (1 medium head), quartered, cored, and thinly sliced crosswise4 bacon slices, chopped1 tablespoon unsalted butter2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced1/2 cup white-wine vinegar3 tablespoons packed brown sugar1 tablespoon salt1 teaspoon black pepperpreparationRinse cabbage under cold water, then drain (do not pat dry).Cook bacon in an 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving it for another use. Add butter to bacon fat, then increase heat to moderate and cook onions, stirring, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in cabbage, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 1 1/4 hours.

Looks just like when Ralphie opens the pot in A Christmas Story. I had that once in a German restaurant outside Chicago. It was served along with some brats and sauerkraut. Mmmm.

we always make it with apple, apple juice (you can get in any store), the same amount red wine, a bit of sugar, salt. it goes very well with duck breast and orange honey sauce (that's what we always make for christmas) or any kind of "heavy meat" :))))) greetings from vienna ^^

This dish is not only German but common throughout central europe, as one viewer commented it is usually made with apple, and instead of white wine vinegar use cider apple vinegar, also you can add some raisins and cinnamon. This goes great with pork. Maximum flavour minimum price. In holland you can buy it pre-made in frozen blocks, it costs very little.
