Heat the water bath to 183 degrees F. In a small pan over Medium heat, add the bacon and cook approximately 3 – 5 minutes.
When the bacon is slightly browned around the edges and the fat has been rendered, remove from the heat and let it cool slightly, 2 – 3 minutes.
While waiting for the bacon to cool, combine the cabbage, onion, garlic and carrot in a large bowl. When the bacon has slightly cooled, add the bacon and drippings to the bowl. Add the apple cider vinegar and a heavy pinch of salt and few grinds of pepper. Stir to distribute the ingredients. Prepare a bag with weights (I used teaspoons in the bottom) and add the cabbage mixture.
Vacuum seal the bag and place into the water bath for 2 hours. After the 2 hour soak, remove the bag and dry the outside. CAUTION it will be hot! Open the bag and empty the contents into a bowl and toss lightly with remaining vinegar, sugar, and butter.
Serve hot with German sausages, breaded cutlets, pork roast, etc.
Enjoy!
