The balsamic vinegar makes this one so distinct from the typical red cabbage side dish. Loved the tangy flavor here. I did use a bit less honey than suggested as I tend more towards savory than sweet.

This is wonderful!! I only cooked it for about 8 minutes, though. Everyone loved it, even THE PICKY ONE. Thanks, Chabear!!
