SIMPLIFIED CHOUCROUTE GARNI FOR CROCK POT (PORK CHOPS&SAUERK
This is a much more simple and quick version of this dish. Don't be afraid of the sauerkraut it mellows after a long period of cooking. I photocopied this recipe from Family Circle Mag. My hubby and I loved it, it's a keeper. SOOOO Easy, I put it on in the morning before church and didn't touch it until dinner. My pork chops were not able to be sliced as per directions though (they were so tender they fell right apart!).

CHOUCROUTE GARNI A LA JUIVE
This is a kosher variant of Choucroute Garni that I have yet to try but that sounds tasty. Times are estimated and do not include cooking time for the corned beef. If you have difficulty locating juniper berries, you can get them from Penzey's Spices at www.penzeys.com. For the wine, I'd suggest using a dry Riesling or a Pinot Gris--something along those lines.
