Bavarian Red Cabbage Recipe
My mother was born in Bavaria, and she taught me how to make this very traditional dish. Over the years, I've made a few tweaks of my own-- balancing the sweet and sour to make this dish a family favorite. I make this every year for our annual Oktoberfest, and it's one of our favorites. Please click on my URL link to see how I make this on my blog, "A Feast for the Eyes".
