I grow red cabbages because

They grow all by themselves.

They make me look good.  

Cooked Red Cabbage (Recipe follows) as a side dish. 

Cook cabbage in small amount of water until al dente.
Drain.

Add bacon bits.

When you add vinegar cooked cabbage turns a beautiful red.

The last flowers from my garden (everything else froze) 

   

Little cabbages sometimes form at the base of the big cabbage heads.  They end up in a salad or a Fall table arrangement. 

Ready for the Freezer. 

Red Cabbage goes well with game, meats, it is wholesome and delicious. 

I'm sharing my Mothers recipe:

shred cabbage, cook for 15 to 20 minutes

cook with apple chunks (optional)
DRAIN

add crumpled bacon

add salt, sugar and apple cider vinegar to taste

One head of cabbage will make  3 to 4 servings. 

Have a great week dear friends 

and 

next time you see a red cabbage take it home with you.
