Heidelberg Cabbage

Select two small, solid heads of hard red cabbage; divide them in halves from crown to stem lay the split side down, and cut halves from crown to stem; lay the split side down, and cut downwards in thin slices. The cabbage will then be in narrow strips or shreds.

Put into a sauce-pan a table-spoon of clean drippings, butter or any nice fat; when fat is hot, put in cabbage a tea-spoon of salt, three table-spoons vinegar (if the latter is very strong, use but two), and one onion, in which three or four cloves have been stuck, buried in the middle; boil two hours and a half; if it becomes too dry and is in danger of scorching, add a very little water. This is very nice, - Mrs. L. S. Williston, Heidelberg, Germany.
