Sauerbraten with Gingersnap Gravy image

Saubraten is such a wonderful recipe. It literally takes days to prepare, but oh so well worth it. It's not a hard recipe, just has to marinate for 4 days. Don't worry though, it want go bad on you.It has lots of preservatives that will keep it good..Hope you try it. You wont regret it.
