THE BEST SAURKRAUT HANDS DOWN!



 I saw a recipe for saurkraut online that I fell in love with so much that I Why would I make it? A recipe online used COKE as the Primary Ingredient to take out that "Edge" that saurkraut has, that tends to discourage a lot of dislikers for the fermented cabbage. Be Adventureous and try it! My Family Loved It!

2 Pounds of saurkraut, Rinsed and Drained ( Use your favorite or not so favorite)

12 ounces of Cola (May use Diet Cola)

Start with a * Cold Skillet or a cast iron skillet.  Fry up a pound of bacon (Save drippings)

1 large onion

1 TBSP. Caraway Seed (Optional)

1 TBSP Brown Sugar

Salt and Pepper (to your taste)

In a cast iron pot, place drippings from bacon and heat on medium high heat. Slice onions thinly, then saute' for approximately 5 minutes in bacon drippings. Add saurkraut, Caraway Seed (Optional) and Brown Sugar. Add Cola (Use more, if needed), then reduce to low heat, cover and let simmer for an  hour, adding more cola as needed. Salt and  pepper to taste. I sometimes serve this Saurkraut with Grilled Brats instead of Fried Pork Chops. Sliced Granny Smith Apples (2 - 4) Sauteed in 3  TBSP. unsalted butter sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar also makes a Great Accompaniment!

Enjoy!
