Cooks' Note

Red cabbage is even higher in vitamin C than common cabbage, supplying over 40 percent of the U.S.RDA in a 1⁄2 cup serving. If you don’t have any whole cloves on hand, use 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves. For added texture, sweetness, and color, toss a diced Granny Smith apple into the cabbage when you add the bacon.
