Ingredients

3 pounds cabbage, cored and chopped
0.5 pound thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 cups water, or more as needed
0.33 cup apple cider vinegar
0.25 cup water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring together the cabbage, bacon, 2 cups of water, and vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for approximately 3 hours, or until the cabbage achieves a very tender consistency. Add more water as needed to maintain the liquid level.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of water and flour until smooth. Gradually introduce this mixture into the simmering cabbage. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
