SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE
Mom brewed her own sauerkraut and, of course, the cabbage was from our big farm garden! Blending the kraut with spicy sausage and apples was Mom's favorite way to fix it, and I still love this country dish. -Rosemary Pryor, Pasadena, Maryland

BOHEMIAN SAUERKRAUT
This recipe goes way back. My grandmother made her sauerkraut this way, and she probably learned it from her grandmother! Actually, this method of preparation is considered German in origin, but since grandmother was Bohemian by birth, we always called it Bohemian Sauerkraut. It was always a featured side-dish at our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and served with dumplings and/or pork at other times of the year. The flavor of this sauerkraut is entirely different from plain boiled kraut.

BAVARIAN SAUERKRAUT
This recipe has to be the best tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage as a general rule and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be quite sour depending on how it is prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit, since it was pulled from a collection of hand-written recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical 'sour' sauerkraut recipe.
