Steps
In a heavy saucepan , cook the bacon , onion , and apples over medium-low heat until onions are limp , about 3 minutes.
Add the cabbage.
Cook about 10 minutes , uncovered , over medium heat until the cabbage wilts , stirring now and then.
Add the remaining ingredients.
Reduce heat to low , cover , and cook for 20 minutes.
The cabbage should be moist , but not juicy.
If liquid accumulates , remove lid at the end of the cooking period to cook off some liquid.
If sauerkraut is not served at a holiday table , this might be a very delicious substitute.
The addition of bacon to the traditional sweet-and-sour red cabbage gives it smoky undertones.
This can be made in advance and reheated.
For vegetarians , substitute a little smoke flavor for the bacon.
