Bavarian Kraut Salad

Slice the cabbage thinly, salt it lightly, and massage until the shreds begin to soften.

Cook the bacon until crisp, then use the drippings to soften the onion and bloom the caraway.

Add vinegar, broth, sugar, pepper, and a little oil to make a warm sweet-sour dressing.

Pour the hot dressing over the cabbage and toss until the leaves turn glossy.

Rest the salad until just warm or room temperature, then finish with bacon pieces and chives.
