Sweet and Sour German Red Cabbage image

This recipe is the closest I have found to the red cabbage my grandmother made. I hated it as a kid. I had to sit at the table until I ate at least 2 spoonfuls - I would rather have died. Now, I love it!!! I serve it with Recipe #59717 and smashed redskin potatoes. An absolutely wonderful autumn meal.

1/2-3/4 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup water
1/2-3/4 cup beer
1/2 cup sugar

1 bay leaf
