I found a recipe the other day for "German Kielbasa" ... only a few ingredients .... all in one pot. (all recipes dot com)
Peel, core and chop 6 apples, put in pot with sauerkraut and simmer 10 minutes, add sliced sausage and 1/4 cup brown sugar .... simmer an additional 10 minutes. (I bought "good sauerkraut" from the gourmet deli.)
Smells delicious! I'm adding a baked potato to the menu.
It's simmering ... I'll let you know now it tastes.
