Does anyone have a tried and true family recipe for this? Would you please post it. I've never made this but I've been wanting to try it. I googled it and there are many variations. I'd like one I can make in the slow cooker. I know it's a German dish that many have on New Year's Day. So far the one I'm looking to try is on iheartyum.com. It has apricot jam, apple butter and wine in it.

Thanks! Starr

This is probably not what you are looking for, but my very German grandmother and mother, and now myself, use this recipe:
Pork + sauerkraut in a dutch oven. Simmer all day. Enjoy.

we never follow a recipe.....we just throw it all into a crockpot and it cooks low and slow for hours. it has been passed down from other generations. we dont add apples or brown sugar. we sear boneless country spare ribs on the stove, place in crockpot. add sauerkraut, chopped onions, and lots of freshly ground pepper. we traditionally serve ours during thanksgiving, alongside the turkey. my grandfather loved it on top of mashed potatoes.
other relatives of ours use some type of a bratwurst/sausage in place of the country spare ribs.

I like mine done in a pressure cooker vs the crockpot but basically the same as everyone else here. The only exception is I know use Frank's Bavarian Kraut -- it is sweeter and with caraway which I've always put in my kraut anyway. I also add a chopped onion. Served over mashed potatoes.

I am not sure from whom or what show I got this recipe but have been making it for years. Our family loves it.
in crock pot in this order
pork tenderloin or boneless pork chops on bottom followed by
jar of sauerkraut can of French onion soup and lastly topped with sliced Granny Smith apples and I have used a cup of bottled applesauce in place of apple.
Slow cook for 4-6 hrs

Same here, though they like to bake it long and slow. I like to fancy up the kraut but it really is never better than the basic.

I use pork chops - brown them in fry pan and put them in crockpot. I drain the sauerkraut, add chopped apples, chopped onion and a few caraway seeds.Put it all in the crockpot. Add a little water and cook on high about 4 to 6 hours. Sometimes I also use kielbasa and I add a few hot dogs for just the last half hour.

I learned to make kraut and pork from a caterer. First ,you squeeze as much liquid from the kraut as you can. Then you rinse it under a cold tap, and squeeze it again
You put cut up sausage ,or country pork ribs, in the pot with the kraut and simmer it slowly in water
When it is done , some hrs later, you drain it and throw in a handful of brown sugar ,and mix well
The brine is for curing and not for eating. It is filled with salt, and not good for you

Except for the rare occasion when we have hot dogs, I don't make anything with sauerkraut anymore.
I don't care for the vinegar and sour even though I have rinsed it to death.
I use plain, old cabbage in it's place and follow the recipe from there.
