Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 pounds cabbage head -- Green
1/2 pound bacon -- sliced
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper -- freshly ground

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.
