Red cabbage and pork are natural partners. The sweetness of the cabbage really complements the juicy savory flavor of the pork roast.

Crockpot Pork With Cabbage, Guest NoName

First time trying this recipe -- used 3 lbs of pork and 8 cups cabbage (and realized I could have added more, as it cooked down so well). Also bumped up the brown sugar to 1 cup and the apple cider vinegar to 3/4 cup; this made a slightly sweeter dish with less of a sour tinge to it. Very easy to make. The biggest surprise was the cooking time -- only took 3hrs and 15m for the temperature to reach 160 degrees F. Don't know if I have a powerful slow-cooker or what . . . . Packed leftovers (sliced pork, cabbage, juices) together to keep everything nicely flavored; there are enough for several servings.
