Notes
- Many traditional recipes also called for 2 tablespoons of cherry preserves or red currant jam, but that's not as easy to find and I never have it on hand, so I leave it out and don't really notice a difference.
- A mandoline makes slicing an entire head of cabbage quick and easy. Just be careful of your fingers!
