My first experience with this casserole was in Sweden at my Mother-in- laws and really really liked it. The Swedish name for this casserole is kålpudding – pronounced koal pudding – kål means cabbage.
Give this a try – I promise you will love it!
 

Fry chopped cabbage in 3 T margarine until partially wilted

Add the dark syrup and water to the cabbage

Water has evaporated and cabbage is now ready for the casserole dish
