This has to be one of my favourite fall recipes and it would be great with your Thanksgiving Dinner! The origin of the recipe was the Dallas News way back in 2008. When I searched online it is nowhere to be found, either on Google or Pinterest as far as I could check. Fortunately I had a copy! You’re going to love serving this fragrant dish with your dinner.
Fragrant Fall Red Cabbage with Apples and Bacon
4 slices bacon cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large head red cabbage cored and thinly sliced
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 apples, halved, cored and sliced
¾ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice
Salt and pepper to taste.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon until lightly browned, but NOT crispy, about 4 minutes.
Add the cabbage, onion and apples. Stir well to coat with bacon drippings. Cover and cook until the vegetables and apples are limp, about 15 minutes.
Add the vinegar, maple syrup and spices. Stir well, then season with salt and pepper.
Serves 8 to 10
