Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons bacon grease, butter or other fat
1 medium onion -- finely chopped
1 inch fresh ginger -- peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cinnamon stick -- Mexican
1 small red cabbage -- tough outer leaves removed,
quartered, cored, and finely shredded
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
pinch black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup Marsala wine
1/4 cup brown sugar -- I used Splenda blend
1 bay leaf
1 whole clove
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 lemon -- juiced

Heat the bacon grease or fat in a large pan that has a cover.

Add the onion, ginger, and cinnamon stick, increase the heat to medium,
and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes, until the onion has
softened.

Add the cabbage, marjoram, black pepper, cinnamon, vinegar, brown sugar
and Marsala, and stir well. Add the bay leaf, whole clove, and apple sauce.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1 1/4 hours,
stirring occasionally to make sure the cabbage is not sticking to the
bottom of the pan.

If the liquid cooks away, add a little water.

15 minutes before it is done, taste for sweet and sour and add lemon
juice in the amount necessary

Remove the cinnamon stick and serve.

and it worked well.
