Great-Grandma Maida Dixon made this salad for family gatherings. I think of her every time I make. It's sooo good. It needs to be placed in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld. It really is worth the wait.

HOT SAUERKRAUT SALAD FROM FREDERICKSBERG



Hot Sauerkraut Salad from Fredericksberg image

This recipe is from Fredericksburg, TX which was settled in the 1840's by Germans who came over with a German prince who wanted to establish a colony in the New World. After a few years the prince got bored and returned to Europe, but his fellow Germans stayed behind. This was printed in a cookbook published on the 125th anniversary of Fredericksburg. You can also use weinkraut, which I would, but Recipezaar has never heard of it.
