Ingredients
 
    * 4 tablespoons bacon grease
    * 1 small onion
    * 2 1/2 pound head of red cabbage
    * 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    * 1/4 cup water
    * 2 tablespoons sugar
    * sea salt to taste
    * freshly ground black pepper
    * 1 large pared and cored Grannie Smith apple
 
Instructions
 
Place the bacon grease in skillet, then fine chop the onion and sauté in grease to golden brown. Veggies can substitute extra virgin olive oil, but this is a guilty pleasure anyway. Sauté the onion to golden brown. Shred the red cabbage. Mix the vinegar with the water and sugar, then place cabbage in onion and grease. Pour mixture of vinegar and sugar on cabbage. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix lightly. Quarter the apple and place on top of cabbage. Cooking time is about twenty minutes at home, though you can cook slower and let the kitchen fill up with the delicious aroma. The Prince uses a pressure cooker and can do a mess of it in four flat. Makes about ten portions, as a side along with wurst and mustard and rich rye bread. Five it you are serving real Germans.
