then I add a tablespoon of brown sugar to a 1 lb. can of kraut. Adjust to
your liking...I like the tablespoon. :-) Some kraut, canned or bagged, is
more sour than others, so adjusting is necessary.

I rinse sauerkraut because my wife doesn't like it straight. It's
amazing how bland you can make it by repeated rinsing. I'm so ashamed.

Yes, that would be much to bland for me, but I understand the sharpness is
too much for some folks.

But it's good advise. I want to try that soon, maybe I can convert my
hubby over to neutral instead of an active saurkraut hater.

I did season it and brown it on all sides...smells great.
I'm not a huge sauerkraut fan, but my wife loves it.

Ain't I sweet?

Indeed! 🙂 Did you remember the pinch of sugar?

Pinch of sugar? I need to remember that.

An apple sliced and mixed in is common and even better.

I will have to try that!

You made my favorite dish. I want some.

It was awesome. I'm glad the kids were at a sleepover. My wife and I
ate the whole thing. :-)

And to think it took 2 minutes to make.

I'm glad, too, that I found out about the bagged sauerkraut.

And I found out today what doesn't work. Todays dinner was pork and
sauerkraut. I usually add layers of sliced yukon gold potatoes then it is
a one pot deal. I didn't have enough potatoes so I sliced up one yam as an
experiment. I thought yams go well with pork so maybe it would work. Yams
taste unbelievably wrong with sauerkraut.

Thanks for the tip -- I may have done that myself.

Whoah, I bet. Well, you have to experiment.

You know I am going out to get some pork as soon as I can, and
a bunch of sauerkraut, too. I will have to make something different
for my husband, he will not eat what he calls "stinky pork." Ha!
More for me!

Glad it turned out good. How long did you simmer it?

"Stinky pork" is what your husband calls your crotch.

Well, I love pork and sauerkraut and I love sweet potatoes served with pork
, but I don't think I'd ever be tempted to actually cook them all together.
I might consider serving separately baked sweet potatoes with a pork and
sauerkraut meal, but maybe not.

Sauerkraut doesn't go well with sweet foods because sauerkraut it is
really not so much sour as it is salty... sauerkraut is pickled in
brine, not vinegar.

I like the sharpness, which is why I go for canned or jarred sauerkraut
rather than the bagged stuff. Hubby likes the bagged. Ugh. It's just not
the same. I, like you, Wayne, add apples as well. :~)

The only problem with adding apples for me, is if I have left-over, I can't
stand the apples in it. First time-around, OK.
On opening a larger jar, I will only add apples to a small portion.

Helpful hint (to some) for the day,

Fortunately it didn't ruin the dish. The yams were in a small layer and
I removed them.

Based on my experiment I wouldn't even try that.

When I add apples I do it just for the sweetness, so I finely chop or
usually grate the apple before mixing in. It literally melts into the dish
while cooking. I would not like pieces of apple even on the first eating.
Maybe that's the problem.
