Title: Krauts on for New Years
Post by: Smokin Don on November 16, 2016, 08:22:42 PM
I got a batch of kraut on for my New Year's Day good luck dinner, pork and kraut. It will be done Dec. 16 and have a couple of weeks to mellow in the fridge.

Pam if you haven't started better get it on. :)

Just took out a batch last week because you have to have sauerkraut with your turkey and gravy for Thanksgiving. It's the law.

I think it may have originally been kind of a Baltimore thing but regardless of origin, sauerkraut (with or without gin & caraway) goes very nicely on a plate with turkey, dressing, and mashed potatoes - all covered with gravy of course. I also like it in leftover turkey, dressing, and gravy sandwiches or casseroles.
