Do you usually just use this as a side to a main dish...if so, what is the best entree to serve?

This was one of my mother's favorite recipes. She would make it for a Sunday meal for my DH, me and herself. That way she had leftovers for Monday and Tuesday for an easy meal after coming home for work.

She would fix a brisket of beef - again left overs for her.

It would go good with chicken or roast beef too.

When I make this I also use 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar. (the sour part)and only 1 tsp salt. It is a holiday staple at our house. (Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years. Also Jakes unbirthday.)

We love Red Cabbage at our house!!!
