Instructions
- In an extra large microwave safe bowl, combine the cabbage, oil, salt and pepper.
- Cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Once the cabbage is tender, drain the liquid and transfer cabbage to the slow cooker.
- In a 12 inch skillet over medium high heat, cook the bacon for 5 minutes, then add onion and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until tender.
- Add 1 teaspoon of the thyme, fennel seeds, cinnamon and allspice. Cook for 1 additional minute.
- Pour ½ cup of apple cider into the hot skillet and deglaze the pan then pour over the cabbage in the slow cooker.
- Pour the remaining apple cider (1 ½ cups) over the mixture and top with 3 bay leaves.
- Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6. Stir in brown sugar and apple cider vinegar right before serving.
Notes
- Make it ahead: Prep your cabbage in the crockpot in the morning or the night before. It will take several hours to cook so it will be ready in time for dinner.
- Don’t add raw cabbage to the slow cooker. I found that the cabbage was cooked perfectly after softening it in the microwave. It’s a very important step that you shouldn’t skip.
- Remove the core. The center of the cabbage is tougher than the leaves so be sure to cut it out when slicing it.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warm. I recommend against freezing cooked cabbage to preserve its texture.
