BAVARIAN SAUERKRAUT - WINE KRAUT
This recipe has to be the best tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves Pork and Sauerkraut every New Years Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage as a general rule and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be quite "sour" depending on how it is prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit (sorry), since it was pulled from a collection of hand written recipes I've kept for years. However, I made it as a side dish for this New Years Day dinner and it was a complete "hit"!! This is certainly not your typical "sour" sauerkraut recipe. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the bacon drippings and saute the onion until soft (medium heat works well). Place sauerkraut (with juices) in a large bowl. Cover completely with water. Hand stir to mix water throughout the sauerkraut. Collect sauerkraut by handfuls and squeeze out "most" of the liquid and add the sauerkraut (one handful at a time) to the skillet. Then add the caraway seeds, sugar, chicken stock and sherry and combine thoroughly. Heat to a slow boil and then reduce the heat and simmer until just about all the liquid is evaporated. I cooked at very low heat, for about 30-40 minutes. Also make sure you stir occassionally to incorporate all of the ingredients. Serve immediately.
- Fantastic on hot dogs, and perfect used as a side dish with Roast Pork Shoulder and Mashed Potatoes.

Steps:
- Thinly slice the onions (vertically, halves or whole slices) and set aside. Peel, core and cut the apple into quarters. Slice thinly and set aside.
- Melt a spoonful of bacon fat in a large pot on medium heat. Sauté the onions until translucent and are starting to brown. Add the sauerkraut, stir and let it cook for 5 - 7 mins.
- Add half a jar of water. Place the apple slices on top of the sauerkraut. Arrange so that the flat side is down and there isn't too much overlap. Cover and let it simmer on a low heat setting for 30 minutes.
- If you are adding meat sausages -
- Once the sauerkraut is done, place the sausages on top and let them steam with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
- Serve warm. Delicious with mashed potatoes.
WEINKRAUT (SAUERKRAUT WITH WINE AND APPLES)
Posted for World Tour 2006, this is a comforting sort of a side dish; goes great with any pork dish of course. You can use either a sweet or a dry wine in this depending on what sort of flavor you are looking for.

Steps:
- Break away any bad outside leaves and discard.
- Rinse cabbage under cold running water.
- Cut cabbage heads into quarters.
- Do not use cores, discard them after shredding.
- Finely shred cabbage or slice with a good sharp knife.
- In a large crock, layer with 2 inches of shredded cabbage.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of pickling salt.
- Place sliced pieces of one red pepper over.
- Repeat layering until all cabbage, salt and red pepper are used up.
- There should be about 4 layers.
- Pour water over cabbage.
- Now pour the wine over cabbage.
- Place a large plate to cover most of the top surface of the cabbage.
- Place a 4 to 5 pound clean rock (cleaned and washed and soaked in white vinegar) on top of the plate as a weight.
- If liquid does not come to the surface, just add a bit more cold water (or wine if you prefer.) Cover top with several layers of cheesecloth and tie with a good string so the cloth does not fall off.
- Leave cabbage to ferment for 2 to 3 weeks in a warm area (70 F to 75 F) or until it starts to foam around the edges of the plate.
- Move the crock to a cooler area (about 60 F to 65 F) and continue to ferment for another 2 weeks.
- At this time, taste to see if the sauerkraut is curing.
- When it suits your taste, pack the sauerkraut and some liquid into 12 sterilized quart size jars leaving a 1/2" head space.
- Wipe jar rims clean.
- Prepare and place lids according to manufacturers instructions.
- Place screw lids on just finger tight.
- Process in boiling water in a canner for 25 minutes.
- Remove jars and allow to cool for 12 hours.
- Check to see if all jars are sealed.
- Lids should be concave (curved down).
- Re-process jars that are not sealed, but remember to change with new lids.
- Store in a cool, dark place.
