Fantastic! I made with purple cabbage and added bok Choy cabbage since I had some. The colors with the purple, orange, green and white cabbages and carrot were beautiful! The bacon is smoky and salty and not overwhelming. The caraway is essential. The Apple is fresh and sweet. What a delightful dish even non-lovers of cabbage will love!

Josh

I added some brown sugar, and I grated the apples in. That's it. OK, fine, I added a bit more butter. It was great, loved by all.

Used apple juice - and added a pinch of dried chilies. Maybe would add slightly more heat next time.

Mary

This was very good; and amazing as leftovers the next day. The sweet/savory/ tangy/smoky elements were perfectly balanced once they got to mingle. I cooked this a bit longer than recommended as I like the veggies softer. Next time a little less caraway.
