"I got this out of my (wedding gift) 1973 Betty Crocker Cookbook. I have been making it for years. My mother in law is German and she can't believe I didn't get this out of a German cookbook. I have to make it every year at Thanksgiving for my Step Dad (he loves it). I like to prepare this the day before and reheat it. The flavors blend together so much better. Hope you enjoy!"

This is very good and oh so pretty! I only used 1/2 onion, as our onions are huge but otherwise made as directed. I used balsamic vinegar for the vinegar. Thanks for sharing!
