Instructions

  1. Place the cabbage in a large saucepan, and stir in the sugar, vinegar, salt and water. 
  2. Place on the stovetop over and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 hour. 
  3. This can be served immediately, or chilled and reheated later in smaller portions.

Notes

  • Don't rush the process. It takes at least an hour for the cabbage to become perfectly tender and cooked through.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture of the cabbage when thawed.
  • Serve cold leftovers over burgers, hot dogs, tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
