SAUERKRAUT

1 Can or Jar of Wine Kraut (796ml, or 1 1/2 lb. )
  ( I like Hengstenberg or Kühne, if you can get it)

1 bottle of Lager beer, not the cheap or light
   beer or dark only if that is all you have.
 
2-3 Chicken Broth Cubes
2 heaped Tbsp. of brown sugar
1-2 Bay leaves
1-2 Tbsp. of caraway seeds.

Mix together in a pot and either simmer on stove for 30-40 min.

Or put into oven at 375 ' for about 30-45 Min.
Do stir in between the cooking time.

You can also roast a pork roast in a separate pot and cook for 1/2 of its cooking time then add it to sauerkraut and cook together in oven
for 30-45 min.

Not knowing your oven do check the kraut.
You want it al dente not mushy.
It also freezes well but if you make a big batch take out the amount you want to freeze about 10 min before finished meal so when you reheat after freezing you have that extra time to heat through.

However i have just froze the kraut after my dinner parties and it still taste well, sometimes a little soft.

Make enough and freeze in quantities for your Reuben Sandwiches. ( That recipe will follow )

Buying Sauerkraut

If you have a chance to purchase WINE Sauerkraut, that is the only one you want to buy.

It is milder but also taste's hardier then regular kraut.

If you do find some, DO NOT RINSE, use as is out of can,jar or bag



Of course the way you prepare Sauerkraut makes a BIG difference as well.


HAPPY HUNTING, there are many German Stores in WA state as well as in Canada,
even some of the local Grocery stores carry German WINE Kraut
