Warning: Another Canning Session!
Heritage is important. Trying to find that lifestyle is a fun adventure. This recipe surprised me. When I buy red cabbage in a jar at the store, sometimes it is so strong. This one came out very mild and sweet in comparison. I like this better.
Unfortunately, I don't know about the copyright on this recipe, but the big difference of what we did, is that I added the dried elderberries, and I did not fry the onions in bacon fat. If you are making a batch for yourself, I do not recommend canning this with the fat. you can fry this when serving. Also, when serving, the original recipe recommended mixing 1T red wine vinegar with 3T black current jelly and adding it. I eliminated this step by adding the dried elderberries.
