1/2 cup raisins
1 small-medium head red cabbage, shredded or sliced into strips

SO HOW'D IT GO?
I didn't have raisins on hand so I chopped up some dates. With such simple ingredients, I was surprised at how the cabbage took on such good sweet and sour flavoring. I'll be trying out this sauce again with other vegetables.
Pretty good. I used balsamic and it wasn't too tangy. I think next time I will definitely add in the apple--just didn't have one handy today.
Is this meant to be served warm or cold? I ate it warm and it worked, wondering if it's supposed to be cold though...
I added one granny smith apple to it and it was wonderful
i dunno i didn't like this recipe very much... i followed the instructions... sorry
