Skillet Cabbage Slaw

Aka - Mom's purple cabbage

1 slice bacon
1 small apple
2 cups shredded purple cabbage
1 Tbsp Vinegar
1 Tbsp Water
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1/4 cup sour cream

In 1 quart saucepan, fry bacon till crisp drain. Reserve drippings; crumble bacon. Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion to bacon drippings and cook 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring just to boiling.

Add shredded cabbage and 1 small apple (pared and finely chopped); toss to coat. Cover and cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until cabbage just wilts. Stir in sour cream; top with crumbled bacon. Makes 2 or 3 servings.

**This is the originally recipe, but when we make it we use the whole head of cabbage with 1 package of bacon, and increase the other ingredients accordingly.
