My Polish grandmother used to this, and apple goes well with pork as well as cabbage. It's a little sweeter, but still good. You can still cook the cabbage in bacon fat (although the bacon I've been getting recently produces little fat, dammit)

That's a good idea, too. Especially since I often make apple sauce for pork meals. Vinca Feb 2021 #8
