  1. Wonderful tasty dish! I like soaking the sauerkraut for this particular dish it gives the dish a very mild flavor. This recipe would lend itself beautifully to the crockpot (next time I will do it in a crockpot). I did not have Juniper berries so used 1/4 cup gin and cut back on the kraut water. I used all smoked sausages. When you say to saute the bacon obviously you mean the 1/2 cup of bacon, not the slab of bacon Thanks for a great dinner Tarynne
