A Little Story About This Dish…

A favorite side dish accompaniment with many pork dishes including roasts, grilled chops and even barbecue!

The sweet and tartness of the recipe goes perfect with the flavor or the cabbage and the addition of bacon and apples gives a welcome savory accent.

We prefer a thick sliced, hickory smoked bacon for this recipe.

Just about any apple will do but we highly recommend varieties that don’t completely break down while this recipe is braising. Good choices would be Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp and Granny Smith. Avoid Red Delicious. They are to firm and spongy when cooked.
