Clean the red cabbage, cut into quarters, remove the stalk and grate coarsely. Mix in salt, pepper and sugar.
Cut bacon into small cubes or strips. Peel the pears, cut them into quarters and remove the core. Cut into slices. Rinse the grapes and pluck them from the stems.
Grease an ovenproof dish with a little lard. Pour in half of the cabbage slices. Spread pear slices, bacon cubes, grapes, cloves and bay leaves evenly over the top.
Place remaining lard as flakes in between. Layer the second half of the red cabbage on top and pour on the red wine. Cook in the preheated oven with the lid closed at 180 to 200 °C for eighty to ninety minutes until tender.
Goose, duck or pork roast tastes good with it.
Our tip: Use high-quality red wine for a particularly fine taste!
