MY MAMA'S SLOW COOKER SAUERKRAUT (SMALL BATCH)

Steps:

• Drain and rinse sauerkraut, to taste. It depends on how tart you like it. I usually just like a bit of tartness. Make sure you taste it.
• Place in slow cooker.
• Pour broth over just to cover. You may or may not not use the whole can! Just pour it slow. Most times I end up using the whole can.
• Add a few shakes of caraway seed and the tablespoon of brown sugar. Give it a stir.
• Cook on low for about 8 hours.
• After it's been cooking for a nice long while, saute the chopped onion over medium heat in the crisco until the onion is lightly brown.
• Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for about 2 minute. (Note from my Mama: Don't add all of the flour at once, you want it to be kind of pasty but you still want to see it bubbling. And let the flour get brown, not just the onions. Watch carefully.).
• Add the onion mixture to the sauerkraut and cook it for about 1 more hour.

CROCK POT SAUERKRAUT SUPPER

Steps:

• In a colander over the sink, drain then rinse the sauerkraut well with cool water, allow to drain for 5 to 10 minutes; repeat at least once.
• While sauerkraut is draining, cut the bacon into small pieces then in a large pan over medium heat, fry bacon until crisp.
• While bacon is cooking, cut up the apple (s), pear (if using), onion, celery, and sausage.
• When the bacon is done, remove the cooked bacon from the pan and set aside; add olive oil and butter to bacon drippings and let butter melt.
• Sprinkle the flour into the dripping mixture while stirring and cook until golden and bubbly, then add the brown sugar, garlic, and Dijon and cook for another minute, then gradually stir in the hard cider and cook- seasoning to taste with salt and pepper- until the sauce thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Combine all prepared ingredients- drained/rinsed sauerkraut, chopped fruits/vegetables, bacon, sausage, and sauce- in a large crock pot (or 2 smaller ones) and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.
• This makes a very large batch, serving about 16 to 18 people as a main dish- good for big potlucks!
