For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A splash of red wine vinegar can add an extra layer of complexity. Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to your personal preference for sweetness and sourness. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated; the flavors will only improve with time. Serve alongside roasted pork, sausages, or duck for a traditional German meal.
