BLAUKRAUT (GERMAN RED CABBAGE)

Blaukraut (German Red Cabbage) image

Red cabbage with apples is a traditional German side dish for pork roast and other roasts, Christmas goose, turkey, and game. It tastes even better when reheated so I usually make it the day before. It is a staple on most people's home for Christmas dinner.
