Unfortunately, this was not very well recieved in my house. I'd never had sauerkraut before, so I don't know if it was that or the caraway seeds that gave it such a strong flavor. I'd like to try this again, using plain shredded cabbage and maybe 1 tsp. caraway seed.

Yummy,My kind of food!!! I love Italian sausage and I love sauerkraut too,this recipe is a great tasting way to put them together.I didn't think I would like the apples in it,but if I had not made it the way it was written I couldn't give it a true rating,so I did as the recipe said,So I was pleasantly surprised when I really liked it this way.Thanks for a really good recipe.Darlene
