Sauerkraut (Strongbow Gold Apple Hard Cider)
« on: April 06, 2015, 01:51:55 PM »
I was watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and the place called the Elk Public House was making sauerkraut. It looked easy enough so I did a search and came up with the recipe below. The only changes using Strongbow instead of Blackthorn (don't have in our area) and the addition of caraway seeds.

I made one version without the caraway seeds and one with them cooked in. The version without cooking the caraway seeds with the sauerkraut was better, but I did add some after it cooled and it tasted fine....

Sauerkraut (Strongbow Gold Apple Hard Cider)

Ingredients
•   1 head of cabbage (sliced then, toss away the core and outside leafs)
•   1 cup Strongbow Gold Apple Hard Cider (Blackthorn will work also)
•   ¼ cup malt vinegar
•   ¼ cup water
•   2 ¼ t sea salt
•   1.5 t ground black pepper
•   1 t caraway seeds (optional, add after you have finished cooking)
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a sauce, mix well, cover and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes -1 hour or until tender.

*Note make sure that there is always some liquid in the pan or the sauerkraut will burn, add additional water if needed.
