  1. When I asked my German mother how to cook this she couldn't remember quantities because she does everything 'by eye'. I served this to her and my German aunt with goose on Christmas Day and they said it was delicious. Didn't put the cider in though because I'd forgotten to buy any!
     
  2. So easy and flavorful! I used my last cabbage from my garden and was so happy with the results. This is just to easy not to make. I used the food processor for shredding the cabbage, apples, and potato. Don`t skip the caraway it is a must! Thanks!!!! ;)
     
  3. I made this to go with a steak and ale pie for Christmas Eve supper. It drew an enthusiastic response from my mother-in-law and the leftovers made it onto the Christmas Day menu (served with Roast Goose!). I stuck to the ingredients but cooked it in the oven slower and longer (Gas 2/150C for 1.5 hours). It also reheated well.
     
  4. Just OK for me, made this recipe for a gathering and not one reply about the cabbage. Will not make again and continue to look for that one recipe that will knock everyone's soxs' off.
     
  5. I made this as written except for leaving out the caraway, because I dislike caraway. We did not care for this - all we could taste was the vinegar. Vinegar lovers might enjoy it.

  1. This was fantastic Bergy! Once again I was not dissappointed, as with most of your recipes. I made this for dinner last night to serve with pork chops and was delighted with the flavour. Very easy to put together. It took mine longer than 40 minutes, but that might be a personal preference in how well I like my cabbage done. I also added a TBS of red currant jelly and used apple juice instead of cider. I halved the recipe as well with no problems. It turned out perfect! Thanks for a great recipe!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
