- 8
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 1 (28 ounce) can sauerkraut
- 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon caraway seed (we use more)
- 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon juniper berries, lightly crushed (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons rendered pork fat
- 1 large onion, chopped (can use a medium onion)
- black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄2 - 1 cup dry white wine (you may substitute pineapple juice, beer, or beef bouillon ( but we never do)
directions
- Rinse sauerkraut in warm water and drain well. (Not rinsing the kraut yields a more sour end product which is the way we like it.)
- Place in a heavy saucepan with caraway seeds, berries (if used) , butter, and chopped onions. Cover pan tightly and simmer over lowest heat 15 to 30 minutes.
- Add pepper, water and white wine and cook 30 to 90 minutes longer depending on how soft you like your kraut.
