Braised Sauerkraut with Apples and Onions

Serves 4 to 6

This recipe is a little different than my other sauerkraut dishes. I use much less water and add a few German seasonings that the Pennsylvania Dutch do not use often, probably because there was a time when they were not available in this country. I love it. It is a delicious side dish with pork, sausage or poultry. It can also be served as a vegetarian main dish with mashed potatoes, rye bread and apple butter. Yum!

Ingredients

Heat a medium stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the butter, than the onions and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce to medium-low. Cook at a simmer until very tender, about 90 minutes. Remove lid and bring back to a boil. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately or let set, uncovered, over warm burner until needed.
