123. HOT APPLE SLAW with BACON

4 to 6 servings


6 slices thick-cut bacon
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, lightly crushed
salt to taste
3 cups finely shredded red or green cabbage
1 large cooking apple, peeled, cored, and grated

Cook bacon in a large skillet over low heat until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels and crumble.
