KATE'S EASY GERMAN CHOW-CHOW SAUERKRAUT RELISH (NO CANNING)



Kate's Easy German Chow-Chow Sauerkraut Relish (No Canning) image

Delicious on top of beans and greens, black-eyed peas, bratwursts, meat or fish. Simmering it low and slow blends flavors. I fell in love with hearty German cuisine while living in Germany. My dad likes this relish so much that he eats it straight by itself.

Time 3h5m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (16 ounce) cans sauerkraut, not drained (without vinegar, I use Silver Floss Barrel Cured Shredded Sauerkraut)
1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 large red onions or 1 large sweet vidalia onion, finely chopped
4 stalks celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
6 tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed
water, to cover

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine sauerkraut including canning liquid, bell pepper, onion, celery, vinegar, sugar, and water.
  • Bring to a boil, and simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 3 hours (3 hours is best) while occasionally stirring to prevent sticking. Add more water as needed to keep from drying out but not too much because relish should not be watery. Note: do not inhale steam from relish while cooking it because boiling vinegar can take one's breath away and is really painful (I learned this the hard way) lol.
  • Can be eaten right way. Tastes even better the next day. Store in refrigerator.

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 - 6 slice bacon
2 can(s) sauerkraut (regular 14 oz. size cans)
1 can(s) diced tomatoes, drained
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 c brown sugar

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Use firm, fresh green cabbage for the best results. Red cabbage can also be used, but it will give the relish a slightly different flavor and color.
  • Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the relish to ferment properly and will make it easier to eat. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices used in sauerkraut relish can vary depending on your taste. Some common spices include caraway seeds, juniper berries, mustard seeds, and dill. You can also add other spices, such as garlic, onion, or ginger, to taste.
  • Ferment the relish for at least 2 weeks: The fermentation process is what gives sauerkraut relish its characteristic sour flavor. The longer you ferment the relish, the sourer it will be. You can ferment the relish at room temperature or in a cool place, such as a refrigerator.
  • Store the relish in a cool place: Once the relish is fermented, it can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
