Steps:
- Drain the sauerkraut. Finely slice the onion and the apple. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the apple and onions for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
- In the meantime, finely grate the potato. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the sugar on top of the onion and apple slices, stir lightly and let the sugar caramelize for a couple of minutes. Keep an eye on it and don't let it become too dark, it should be only lightly caramelized.
- Add the peppercorns, cloves, juniper berries, bay leaves, sauerkraut, grated potato, and stock. Stir well.
- Simmer: Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

SAUERKRAUT AND APPLES
In the Chesapeake, seafood often finds its way onto the Thanksgiving menu. But in Baltimore, which has a strong eastern European and German immigrant history, the holiday table demands something else. "The absence of sauerkraut when turkey is present, Thanksgiving included, is unthinkable, comparable to potatoes without gravy or crisp French fries without ketchup," wrote John Shields, the chef and owner of Gertrude's restaurant in Baltimore, in his cookbook "Chesapeake Bay Cooking." (Sauerkraut is a mainstay well beyond Thanksgiving; Gertrude's hosts an annual Krautfest in January.) Traditionally, homemakers fermented the cabbage in earthenware crocks in their cellars, but these days the fresh stuff is available to buy. On Thanksgiving, it's often simply served as a side, or incorporated into dishes like this, in which the sauerkraut is braised in beer with bacon and apples.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring often, until fat has started to render, about 5 minutes.
- Toss onion and apples in the fat and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut.
- Add beer and season with pepper and caraway seeds. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover the pot. Reduce heat so mixture is just simmering and cook for 45 minutes. Or transfer the covered pot to a 350-degree oven and bake for 1 hour. Stir and serve hot.

BAVARIAN SAUERKRAUT
This recipe has to be the best tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's 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, since it was pulled from a collection of hand-written recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical 'sour' sauerkraut recipe.
