Introduction
For my husband's birthday I wanted to do something special. He loves German food so I made sausage, perogies and this recipe for sweet & sour cabbage (which I found on RecipeZarr).Here is what the posting author wrote:
This recipe is so old it could be considered "antique." It was my grandmother's recipe. When I prepared it, I was an adult but it definitely rang childhood memory bells. I did remember this delicious taste. My grandmother wrote out this recipe as I am reproducing it and on the recipe she noted that this dish is good with roast pork or pork chops, dumplings and applesauce. An excellent meal from Central Europe! (Bread dumplings are now available in the freezer section of the supermarket.)

1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 lbs cabbage, thinly sliced

The posting author's Grandmother notes that you shouldn't "put cooked cabbage in freezer -- just in icebox." (aka: refrigertor)
