INGREDIENTS:
3 pounds cabbage head
1/2 pound sliced bacon
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1) Cut the cabbage into quarter. Remove any wilted and discolored outer
leaves and cut out the core from the cabbage pieces. Cut the cabbage into
a large 1-inch dice.
2) Cook the bacon in a 4-quart pot over medium heat until crisp.. Remove
the bacon to paper towels to drain. There should be about 1/2 cup of bacon
drippings in the pan. Add the cabbage to these drippings and cook without
stirring until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the water, sugar,
salt, and pepper and cook covered until the cabbage is tender, about 20
minutes. Crumble the cooked bacon into the cabbage and serve hot.
