This was really good! A little too sweet for my taste so I’ll cut the sugar in half next time. I did back off the cinnamon per other reviews. It was a lovely addition to our Bohemian dinner.  

I would use this recipe again but I would cut back on the cinnamon. Just a personal taste thing. The cinnamon was a little overpowering.   

This is the best cabbage I’ve ever had.  I didn’t know cabbage could be this good.

Absolutely delicious!  Substituted honey for sugar and is perfect: 

I normally don't leave too many reviews unless a recipe REALLY moves me...and this one moved me!!  Made this tonight to have with schnitzel and there are really no words to describe how delicious it is!  I goofed and used apple cider vinegar instead of red wine vinegar...and I only used a dash of cinnamon (didn't want it to overpower the dish - cinnamon isn't my favorite.  And instead of the bags of shredded cabbage, I just used a head of red cabbage.  I could eat this with every meal!  I'll be making this every week!

delicious!!! i had to make a few changes but it was still absolutely divine. i didn't have any red wine so doubled the vinegar and added 1/2 cup of white wine. omitted the cinnamon as i am not a big fan of it. Will definitely be adding this to my weekly vegetarian menu. 

Fantastic!!  This is the best red cabbage I have ever had.  Better than any German restaurant.  I followed the recipe exactly as written.

I found this recipe to use with the red cabbage I harvested from my garden.  It was delish!  I didn't have the wine on hand and it come out wonderful!  I couldn't stop "taste testing" because it was just that good!

I served this with pork tenderloin to our friends, and they loved it.  I also tried it with bacon and would definitely make it again.  

This is a keeper.  Tried it with bacon and pancetta along with the original way.  All were great.  I did however add more wine.  Consumed a goodly portion of cabbage "testing" the pot.  Think next time will be adding balsamic vinegar too.   

No need for bacon drippings in this very flavorful braised red cabbage-followed the directions exactly and everyone raved!!!! Great consistency and especially good reheated (always a plus)!

Made just as written and came out perfect.  Super flavors...!!  This is a keeper.

I could not beleive how good this recipe is! I ate almost half of it before it got to the serving platter! Thank you so much!  Happy in Ohio

Great winter side dish. My tweaks...1. used bacon instead of olive oil 2. used a mixture of basalmic and apple cider vinegars 3 three apples and added a pinch of cloves.  This was yummy!

My brother and I have been looking for this recipe since we were young kids and this is it!!! Thank you so much! Its is perfect! You are the best! We are so happy with this recipe it came out perfect!

I served this at a potluck dinner for 8 along with a Pork Loin Roast.  I was a little hesitant about cooking cabbage for an hour, but it does need to simmer that long to be tender.  I shredded a head of red cabbage instead of purchasing it pre-shreddedl I changed the recipe only reducing the amount of cinnamon and added nutmeg - 1/2 tsp each, and added some balsamic vinegar also. One of my friends said it was better than the red cabbage served at a local German restaurant!  This is a keeper!

I have made this about 10 times now and it is a GREAT red cabbage recipe, with 3 changes... 1. Dice up some bacon and then use the drippings instead of olive oil 2. Buy a head of red cabbage and slice it up yourself! Much more economical and fresher! 3. Add some freshlt ground or crushed caraway seeds Really tasty!!

Made this recipe, along with the wild rice stuffed game hens, for Christmas for my wife and I.  She totally loved it, as well as I!!  Have already received a request to make it again soon!!  Robin's dad really rocks on this one!!  Dads do make great cooks!

Served it for guests along with the ham and pineapple chutney that were shown on this show.  Every one loved all the different flavors.
