1. Remove the outer leaves and hard core from cabbage and chop coarsely.

5. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour or until the cabbage is tender.
6. Add the vinegar and sugar and continue to cook 15 minutes longer.
7. Serve hot.
8. NOTE: Sugar and vinegar amounts can be varied according to your family's tastes.
