SLOW COOKER: AUTUMN SAUSAGE & CABBAGE

From: Ray Todd
SLOW COOKER: AUTUMN SAUSAGE & CABBAGE
6 to 8 Servings.
12 Oz. to 1 Lb. Reduced-fat Pork Sausage--
Cut in thick,diagonal slices [1.]
8 C. Red cabbage--Chopped (Small head,)
3 Potatoes--Diced chunky
3 Apples--Diced
1 Onion--Sliced
1/2 C. Sugar (White or brown.)
1/2 C. Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp.. Black Pepper
1/2 tsp. Ground Allspice
1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves [2.]
Set the slow cooker to high or low.
Cook the sausage in a non-stick skillet a couple
minutes and dump it into a bowl with the rest of
the ingredients and stir to mix. [3.]
Add everything to the slow cooked.
Cover.
Cook, on LOW, for 8 to 10 hours or until the potatoes
are tender.
[1.] You can use other sausage: Kielbasa, turkey
sausage, beef, ostrich, buffalo...etc.
[2.] The original recipe calls for 1/2 tsp. cloves;
I think that's too much. My friend thinks 1/4
tsp. is still too much so, now, I use 1 whole
headless clove.
[3.] Mixing in a bowl before adding to the cooker is
easier since the cooker will be pretty full until
the cabbage cooks down.
