Vintage German Recipe

This one was a loose clipping from a shoe box of recipe cards and clippings. I think this would be great with pork.

GERMAN-STYLE STEAMED CABBAGE

Fill a 4 quart kettle (with tight fitting cover)level full of coarsely cut cabbage. (The result will be about half the amount when done.) Add:

1/3 c. white vinegar

2/3 c. water

1 tsp. salt

pepper to taste

1 tbsp. sugar

2 tbsp. butter

Cover and turn on at high heat until it begins to steam, about 5 minutes. Then turn, down to lowest possible heat and allow to steam until tender, about 20 minutes. Will turn slightly pinkish in color.
