Without a doubt I love sauerkraut as evident by the number of recipes on my blog. It all began many years ago when I made homemade sauerkraut from cabbages I grew in my own garden. I had a huge antique crock where I made my first fermented batch. I stored it in the mudroom and … Continue reading
This is a favorite Fall/Winter side or even as a main dish if meat is added. I have mentioned in the past that I made my own sauerkraut way back when I had a huge garden – My Dad and Gene loved my homemade version. This is an update of Gene’s Sauerkraut and Kielbasa, one … Continue reading
During the warmer months of the year when I am grilling, bratwursts are a popular item. I first cook a mixture of apple/onion/beer for 15 minutes, add the brats and cook for another 15 minutes.

This is a recipe to use should you try and make your own homemade sauerkraut. Of course you can always use the bagged kind at the grocery store (I prefer this over canned), but homemade definitely adds some great flavor and a special touch to any meal. This sounds like a Weight Watcher’s recipe but … Continue reading
Very few gardeners make sauerkraut at home, but I did make it a few times with great success.
