This recipe is delicious! I kept the recipe as is-I did not have tarragon vinegar, though! I'd used other vinegar (cider). I also used the cooking liquid in the cabbage dish!

My mom use to make this when I was a kid to go with sauerbrauten. It was one of my very favorite side dishes! I haven't made it in a long time. The only difference was we don't add the bay leaf or oil. It was great! Thanks for reminding me of an old family favorite! My children enjoyed it also.

I have made this recipe every Thanksgiving for years. My mother loves it. Leftovers (if there are any) are good hot or cold. I usually double this recipe to assure that we DO have leftovers. :)
