sauerkraut stew

[900kingcat162]

Mmmmmmm. enjoying my lunch here that my wife packed for me and its so good I thought I should share it with the JD crowd. My family and I made 40+ pounds of homemade kraut this Fall. Delicious. so this stew consists of kraut, smoked sausage, pork, beef, bacon, garlic, and onions. perfect man food IMO! wish you all could smell it. stay warm my friends and enjoy the trails that are open!

I feel sorry for the coworkers later this afternoon

So what does 40 lbs. cook down to…….about how many 1 gal ice cream pails?

yeah its kicking in already! we shredded the cabbages we grew in our gardens and put it in (2) 25 gallon stone redwing crocks. put the first layer in, poured salt on it, smashed it up with a wooden stomper, put a second layer in, and repeated the process until the crocks were full. filled one gallon ziplock bags full of water and placed those on top of the kraut to make a nice seal. i think we did this around the end of september and it was ready the end of november. we water bath canned it all in quarts and pints. i dont remember what the actual count was, but it was quite a bit. tastes so much better than the store bought stuff from a can.

I use to make sarma to bring with on trips with the guys.
1.5 lb of each ground ham ground pork ground beef some garlic cup of raw rice rolled in to tubes then rolled in kraut layered with shredded kraut and smoked sausage and tomato sauce and vinegar,
but the issues come about a hr after the fact when a cabin full of men start the kraut farts it becomes unbearable.eye wattering missery
