OMG! Dorothy, this is so good, it is almost beyond words! Besides being a fantastic sauerkraut side dish, I see the potential for this to be a great topping for cabbage rolls. I will definitely be covering up mine with this the next time I fix those! I said that to my husband and he was nodding his head emphatically, YES! YES! YES! Not only will this be a regular in my collection, I imagine it won't be long before I have this recipe memorized! Thanks, Dorothy!

Well, Dorothy, I thought this was wonderful. But my PITB kids wouldn't eat it. I'm starting to wonder if they'll ever like anything! Keep posting, and I'll keep trying. BTW, I wasn't 100% sure how to "dry" the sauerkraut, so you might want to add that to the directions for us dummies.
