Recipe: Hot Cabbage Slaw

I think the cabbage dish you are referring to is probably Pennsyvania Dutch in Origin. I looked in a couple of old recipe books and came up with this recipe which I thought was interesting. Back then, it was pretty common to use bacon drippings instead of butter or margarine in a lot of recipes. I will look in a couple more old books and if I find anything I will post it.
