RECIPE - Sweet and Sour Cabbage

2 tbsp packed brown sugar (I use E.D. Smith No Sugar Added Syrup)
2 tbsp vinegar
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp cooking oil (I don't use oil - I use vegetable broth to saute)
¼ tsp caraway seeds (celery seed also works)
¼ tsp salt
Dash black pepper
2. c. shredded red or green cabbage
¾ c. chopped apple

* I often add some seasoned ground tofu (or other ground meat) to this and make it into a meal.
  1. In large skillet saute (in vegetable broth) brown sugar (or syrup), vinegar, water, caraway seeds, salt and pepper. Cook for 2 or 3 min or until hot and brown sugar is dissolved stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in cabbage and apple. Cook covered over med-low heat about 5 ,min or until; cabbage is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Serve with slotted spoon. 6 Servings
