Ingredients
3 pounds cabbage, cored and chopped
½ pound thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 cups water, or more as needed
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring cabbage, bacon, 2 cups water, and vinegar to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until cabbage is very tender, about 3 hours, adding more water as needed.
Whisk remaining 1/4 cup water and flour together in a small bowl and gradually add to cabbage mixture. Continue to simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
