BAVARIAN SAUERKRAUT
This recipe has to be the best tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage as a general rule and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be quite sour depending on how it is prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit, since it was pulled from a collection of hand-written recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical 'sour' sauerkraut recipe.

Steps:
- Soak the mushrooms in 1 cup water for 1 hour. Drain the mushrooms and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop the mushrooms medium fine. Strain the soaking liquid through a coffee filter and set aside. You must do this or you will get sandy liquid.
- In a large Dutch oven, sauté the bacon over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Drain off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Add the onion and mushrooms to the pot and sauté, stirring frequently, over medium heat until the onion begins to turn golden, about 10 minutes.
- Add to cabbage, toss well, and continue to sauté until the cabbage wilts and begins to color, 10 minutes.
- Do not use sauerkraut in a can. It is best to use packaged or in a glass bottle.
- Add the sauerkraut and sauté, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the reserved soaking liquid, the chicken or beef broth, Madeira, caraway seeds (if desired), and tomato paste. Stir and bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add the sugar and pepper, stir well, and simmer, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes. Serve hot. Serves 4-6.

- Continue to simmer in oven for another 1 1/2hours. (5 hours total).
BRAISED SAUERKRAUT - PRESSURE COOKER
Entered for safe-keeping, Steffen's Mom's German recipe, from steffensdinners.com. Takes about 20 minutes of pressure cooking. If the canned sauerkraut is very salty, soak for 2-3 hours in water. Change the soaking water every hour.
