Sauerkraut (purple) with brats for dinner a little while ago. Lima beans and fruit salad as well. I love cellar kraut and brats for dinner.

The Wife made my day with corned beef and cabbage for dinner. The absolute perfect meal!

I always look forward to St. Patrick's day at the Elks. Although our resident Leprechaun Mr. O'Riley is not a talented chef, he makes the best corned beef and cabbage I have ever eaten. He has a special place where he orders the corned beef, and man is it good!

I never have found many recipes for kraut but I did find these sites that list their ingredients. Knowing not to go past 25% of anything non-cabbage I think I can experiment with the other portions. I did get a small 2 quart water lock crock to try some recipes rather than using one of my big crocks, in case it is not something we care for. I am not a fan of spicy kraut but some of these look good. Both of these companies are local and I see there is a Spring Nettle version, so now I know what I can do with my stinging nettles (a local weed).

Here's one I've made before and will make again tonight after seeing this thread:

INGREDIENTS
6 smoked bacon slices, cut into 2-inch-wide strips
1 large onion, sliced
1 carrot, chopped
1 2-pound jar sauerkraut, rinsed, drained well
2 cups dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt broth
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
4 juniper berries, crushed, or 1 tablespoon gin
1 1/2 pounds kielbasa sausage, cut into 3-inch lengths


PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 300ｰF. Place bacon, onion and carrot in heavy large ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Saut until onion is tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from sauerkraut. Add sauerkraut to Dutch oven. Add wine, stock, caraway seeds and juniper berries. Bring to simmer. Cover tightly, place in oven and bake 1 hour.
Add kielbasa to Dutch oven, pushing into sauerkraut. Cover and bake 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat, stirring frequently.)

I reckon I'm doing as well as could be expected for an old man.:laughing: But I had to move back to town some time ago to care for my mother, so I don't have as much to do, or to say, about tractors as I used to.:laughing:

Cherish her while you have her, both mine have passed a while ago, all I have left are pictures and memories.

On a whim yesterday I bought a small jar of spicy raw sauerkraut to see if I liked it (since I generally do not like spicy foods) rather than making a batch. I tried it and thought, it was too much for me but wanted to finish the jar off. I spied some leftover spaghetti in the fridge so I warmed up the spaghetti and mixed in the cold spicy kraut. It tasted great! I now think I will make spicy kraut in my 2 quart crock. :thumbsup:

Spicy stuff causes exhaust issues for me and irritates my wife.....

The kraut I made the other night from the recipe a few posts up. It's very mellow.
