Bohemian Sweet and Sour Cabbage
By: Lorraine of AZ
May 22, 2006
This recipe is so old it could be considered "antique." It was my grandmother's recipe. When I prepared it, I was an adult but it definitely rang childhood memory bells. I did remember this delicious taste. My grandmother wrote out this recipe as I am reproducing it and on the recipe she noted that this dish is good with roast pork or pork chops, dumplings and applesauce. An excellent meal from Central Europe! (Bread dumplings are now available in the freezer section of the supermarket.)
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon shortening (or oleo)
- 1 onion, larger than a walnut, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed (or to taste) (optional)
- 2 teaspoons flour
Directions
1
Brown the onion in the shortening, only to a golden color. Do not brown.2
Add the water, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil. (This liquid is just enough for this size cabbage.).3
Put cabbage in; sprinkle with caraway seed if you wish. Boil for 1/2 hour. Sprinkle with flour. Stir it up and boil just a few seconds for the flour to dissolve.4
Grandmother notes that you shouldn't "put cooked cabbage in freezer -- just in box." (Box is the old-time short way of saying "icebox" -- we would say refrigertor!

After making stuffed cabbage I was at a loss for what to do with the half-cooked leftover cabbage and this was the answer! Looks like I have a wonderful excuse to make stuffed cabbage more often!

A quick and easy sweet and sour cabbage recipe. Very flavorful. I did omit the caraway seeds. A nice change from our usual savory cabbage dishes. Thanks Lorraine, we will be having this one again.

The best cabbage recipe I've made. My guests all loved it and I live in a country where everyone eats lots of cabbage (so it's usually just a "normal" dish and is difficult to wow people with a cabbage dish). It was easy to make, so I'll definitely make it again!
