Wilted Red Cabbage

3 slices bacon
1 head red cabbage, rinsed, dried and cut into thin slices
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste

Cook the bacon until crisp in a large sauté pan or skillet. Remove the bacon, chop coarsely and set aside.

Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings. Return pan and heat on medium-high. Add the cabbage and sauté until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes, stirring often.

Add the sugar and vinegar and sauté 3 to 5 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
