Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 ounces sauerkraut, rinsed
1 (1 ounce) package sugar-free instant pistachio pudding
1/2 teaspoon dried grated fresh lemon rind or 2 teaspoons fresh grated fresh lemon rind
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pistachios
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 cup dried currant
2 (1 g) packets Splenda sugar substitute

Steps:

  • Drain the sauerkraut and place in a large bowl.
  • Fill the bowl with water and rinse pickling juices from the sauerkraut, then drain using a large strainer (or colander with small holes).
  • Put the sauerkraut back into the bowl, refill it with cool water, and set it aside.
  • Make the pudding according the package directions.
  • When it has begun to set, add the lemon rind.
  • (Rind from lime could be a good addition, as well!) Coarsely chop the pistachios and pecans- a food processor works well for this.
  • Pour the sauerkraut into the strainer again and drain it well, pressing down on it with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  • In a large bowl mix the rinsed/drained sauerkraut with the pudding, nuts, currants, and Splenda, and stir well.
  • Pour into a serving container and chill in refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
  • Enjoy!
