Dicey but it came out great. First of all, two half heads? Please, who are you talking to. I used one big Napa head and had to make another 50% of the sauce. I think the key is to use medium/medium-low heat, not medium-high heat (unless my stove runs hot? it might). Also really make sure the flour dissolves, maybe even use a little less than indicated.

We liked this very much and it kept well. I used only red cabbage because it was what we had in the garden.

Anybody have thoughts on whether this could be made the night before a mid-day picnic?

These were delicious and I brought them as a gift. I always use only 1/2 glaze recipe for sweet rolls and it covers them generously.
