I tried the second one and it was okay, but perhaps the All spice had been on the shelf a bit too long.  I cut the sugar to just about a quarter cup and that was fine.  I wish I had used the molasses.  Also, I cut the number of peppers to three and that was more than enough, in fact, it may be a bit too hot for most eaters.  One pepper might have been smart to start.

red cabbage in chili

I ground up some cooked red cabbage with the meat grinder and it came out resembling the texture of ground beef.  What a cool kind of trick.
I made a chili using the rather bland kidney bean dish I had already made and adding the cabbage, some cayenne powder, a fresh cayenne pepper, some chili powder, paprika and black pepper.  It ende up very tasty.  Oh, I cooked it in that fancy barbecue sauce from around the Buffalo area.
