Dutch doesn't figure into it. The "Dutch" in Pennsylvania Dutch is related to Deutsch--the German word for German, not to Holland. Rote is red, as in the red cabbage used; kraut is plant, most likely cabbage as in sauerkraut.
I'm from Lancaster County and I love all these recipes! I grew up with stuff like this! I actually have a WONDERFUL cookbook with these recipes and more called the "Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook" which is recipes from the Mennonite Community.
I live in South Jersey, and Lancaster is my favorite place in the world! My dream would be to live there, and I, too, grew up on these wonderful dishes! Oooh, you're so lucky! :)
That first one is how I make my red cabbage (minus the pressure cooker, just cover it and cook it longer)---OMG so delicious. I love it in the wintertime. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I know it's not cool but bacon grease adds so much! I have a little jar in my fridge. But for this recipe I actually cook three strips of bacon up and use that grease and then chop up the bacon and add it to the mix.
These are really Cool recipes Charisma - A Must try them out Post :)
Ah! I love these recipes of the Past, and I am learning so much about the Cooking equipment of the Past days of Nastoca as well, I bet if someone posted just Images of Nostalgia and not Explanation of it, 80 percent of these Kids would have no clue as to their Functions Minus stating their Object title, Post an old Corn Scraper, or even a Flour Sifter and I bet we would have a Million Laughs as they tried to figure their proper uses out.

Excuse my ignorant mind. Im a language geek but probably a bit too limited in my thinking. All I thought was "OMG WRONG GRAMMAR! In Dutch AND German!**!" ...
A fair amount of the earliest German-speaking settlers around here were from Switzerland, although most were from the Palatinate. I've never heard anyone speak actual Palatinate dialect; but I've spent time in Switzerland and there's definitely a resemblance to Schweitzerdeutsch.
My husband is from the Palatinate, and I can understand the dialect reasonably well- probably better than a lot of native German speakers, who find it utterly incomprehansible. I've tried to listen to Schweitzerdeutsch and find it extremely hard to understand anything.
Having listened to a few recordings of Pennsylvania Dutch being spoken, I found that I could understand a resonable amount. My husband would understand more and he'd certainly be able to have a pretty reasonable conversation.
