My heritage is 100% Latvian ... I immigrated to the USA in 1959 :) This is a recipe that I've enjoyed since my youth and I guarantee that even if you don't like SauerKraut you'll love this recipe. The Pork Butt is simply to die for and virtually melts in your mouth.

Ingredients: 4-5 lb trimmed Pork Butt, 1 Gallon SauerKraut, Large yellow Onion, Head of Cabbage, bundle of Celery, Carrots for color
Spices: 4 Bay leaves, 4 tsp crushed garlic, 1 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp Lawry's seasoning salt, 2 tsp Lawry's garlic salt, 28 cups of water, and 15 tsp Knorr Beef Bouillon
Directions: Using a cullender, rinse the SauerKraut thoroughly with water. Dice onion, celery, carrots & cabbage. In a large pot, combine all ingredients and spices. Bring to a boil, and add the pork butt. Bring back up to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 to 6 hours. Stirring occasionally. Steam some red potatoes and server ... Bon Appetite 8)

The key smokedevo is that you "must" rinse the Sauerkraut really good to get rid of a lot of that sour taste that some people don't care for. The results will really surprise you. The other key is that you need to simmer it for a long time so that the pork butt can break down and infuse all that flavor into the sauerkraut ;)

oh that looks delicious, I'll take a latvian beer with mine :)

My family is Rumanian and we have a similar dish..it's fabulous and I grew up on it. Grandma made her own sauerkraut and set it outside with dish on top and a brick to hold it down,because of the smell. 5 gallons at a time. Thanks for the memory. Pam

Oh yesssssssssssssssss . . . that looks better than cake and ice cream :D
The secret is rinsing the kraut thoroughly. My mom used to make beef short ribs and kraut sorta like this and it was wonderful! You've inspired me to give this a shot.
