Source of Recipe
From "The Heritage of Southern Cooking"
List of Ingredients
- 6 thick slices very lean bacon
- 1/2 small head tender green cabbage
- 3-1/2 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1-1/2 Tbsp sugar, or more to taste
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425º F.
- Cook the bacon in the oven until cooked through but not brittle, 15 to 18 minutes. (Or sauté in a heavy skillet.)
- In the meantime, shred the cabbage and chop it rather fine. You should have 6 cups.
- Remove the bacon, reserving the fat, and chop. Set aside. Combine the bacon fat, vinegar, water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat, and add salt to taste.
- When you are ready to serve the salad, pour the warm dressing over the shredded cabbage. Toss with the chopped bacon and add pepper to taste.
