  • 2 inch piece of salt pork (diced)
  • Boiling water
  • 4 lbs.  brown sugar
  • 2 T.  red cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 T.  flour

Shred cabbage fine, add salt and pepper to taste, add apples.  Heat the salt pork in frying pan, add cabbage and apples.    Cover with boiling water and let cook until just tender; sprinkle flour over top, add sugar and vinegar.  Cook a little longer and serve hot with mashed potatoes.
