Rotkohl! I'm trying to get a German/German-American food group doing, if you're interested:

Yummmy! I had this while growing up. The only change that we did was to use bacon in it and bacon fat instead of butter, but other than that, this is it! I've gotta make this soon. I just hope the rest of my family gets as excited as I do.


Oh my Gran used to make something very similar. Love the caraway!


My mom was looking for this recipe and I sent it to her. She made it and she loved it!! Thank you!!


I was looking for a cabbage dish I had been served years ago...great taste. I have a maternal German background and thought this might be it. I'm sorry to say "nope" I don't think I'd like it, but I know I DON'T like caraway seeds, so that's why. I'm sorry


Oh yum, I lived in Germany a year and this was one of my favorite foods!!! Def bookmarking to try later!


Cook for 30 minutes? Where's the rendered bacon? The cloves? The bay leaves? Schreckliche!


Those do sound good, but this recipe doesn't have them. There are many recipes for red cabbage and this is but one.
