Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Red cabbage
1/4 lb Bacon -- sliced
1 Onion
20 Cloves
2 Apples
1 t Lemon juice

Cut up the bacon into little «-inch pieces and fry
slowly in the bottom of a large pot while you... Peel
the onion and stab the cloves into it (15-30 cloves).
Put the onion into the pot and let it warm with the
bacon while you... Cut up the cabbage into roughly
bite-sized chunks - somewhat thicker slices than for
slaw.
Put the cabbage in the pot and add enough water to
about half-cover the cabbage; then turn the heat up
high. But don't go away!
Quarter, core and peel the apples. Toss them in on
top of the cabbage with a small handful (about a 1/2
teaspoon) of salt. Sprinkle the lemon juice over it
all.
By this time the water should be boiling. Turn down
the heat and put a lid on the pot.
Go away and let it cook for 10 minutes. Stir 'n
sniff. Cover and let it cook another 10 minutes.
Now you can serve it "as is", or you can ladle out
part of the liquid, thicken it with cornstarch or
arrow-root, and stir it back in.
