Even if you don't like sauerkraut, you'll like this!

I do make my sauerkraut the German way....rinse it several times and cook it with applesauce. So...

You need some ribs, or a pork roast, sauerkraut and an onion. Throw it all in a crockpot and cook all day on low. If I don't have applesauce I'll rinse my kraut and add a little brown sugar in the crockpot.

The meat is so tender, and I've yet to feed this to someone who didn't love it!

Sounds delicious. Do you just add the applesauce to the crockpot? I've never "cooked" sauerkraut except to add it to a recipe.

My German Mom taught me to make sauerkraut by adding some sauteed onion and grated potato, along with carraway seeds. Makes for a thick kraut. MMM, mMMM good.

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing with us :D:D:D

That sounds good too!! The applesauce recipe comes from 2 different German ladies that are both elderly. Oma makes the best sauerkraut and dumplings....and Karin has different krauts that she makes...one is sweet and one is sour....I know she uses wine in the sour one. I'll have to try out your recipe!

Yes, I don't add very much, but when my German friend makes kraut and dumplings she uses a jar. I guess just add some and taste and adjust.

I've got to try this. thanks!

I also have a German heritage. Drain sauerkraut add 2 sliced apples and 2 cups of apple cider or apple juice and a little caraway seed. Throw in some pork chops, or polish sausage and let cook all day in the crock pot. Yummy.

my step mom was german also for a quick method she used jar kraut and sliced up a fresh cabbage so it was at least half and half cause the kraut in jar was to sour. you can add more to suit your taste.

sounds very yummy.. thinking i will be trying it this weekend..

Maybe you should share your recipe for making saurkraut with us. My SIl and DD like to make kraut as they don't like the sourness of bought kraut. I think I'll try your recipe with Bavarian style kraut in a day or two.

Sounds great. I make kraut with onion and carway seed.
I see you are in Casa Grande, Az. I lived in Casa Grande about 3 yrs. ago, before moving to Pa. :D

Are you around the Lancaster Pa area?

No. I'm 10 miles from Tamaqua, in New Philadelphia.

Kat zak...another Casa Grande quilter here. Do I know you? A Sunwest/ Sundance winter resident here

We retired in Casa Grande. It was too hot there for us in the summer, so we transferred ourselves here, 3 years ago. We were located off fwy. 10.

Sounds good
