1 sm. head red cabbage
3 tbsp. bacon grease

1 c. water

4 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Remove coarse outer leaves from cabbage. Cut head into 4 pieces; remove hard core and shred finely. Melt bacon grease in a large pot. Add cabbage, water, vinegar, and spices. Cook until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Good side dish with pork or sausage.
