I am pretty much in total awe of our great grandmothers and grandmothers. These woman used what they had when they had it. That’s how a lot of our recipes were created. Cabbage and apples stored well in root cellars. I imagine, as frugal as they were that they put their culinary thinking caps on and came up with many delicious ways to enjoy the two together.
Another example of “Using what you’ve got when you’ve got it” is pork and apple recipes. It turns out that farmers butchered their pigs in the Fall when apples were coming into season. I imagine that’s why we have so many delicious pork and apple recipes now. Today we’re combining cabbage and apples, let’s gather the ingredients and make it together.
What Variety Of Apples Should I Use In The recipe?

You’re welcome Radwa, thank you for taking the time to visit me, I appreciate it.
Really enjoyed this and I am recovering some fantastic recipes on this site.
Thank you,
I am so excited to make this cabbage and apple side dish. I checked a couple of others before I found yours. I am so glad that I kept looking. I didn’t want the junk other put in theirs. We buy a few jars of it at ALDI, most years when we can find it. I really want to make it from scratch. This sounds perfect. Can I can this? I know it is an old post. I hope that you catch this.
Tammy I have never canned this so I can’t tell you if you could or not.
