Blaukraut is an authentic German dish and it's super simple to make. My mother used to make this recipe for my family growing up. Now, it's become one of our most popular German sides in our restaurant, Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn! -Dorothy Zehnder, Frankenmuth, Michigan

This blaukraut is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. The cabbage is tender and flavorful, and the apples and vinegar add a nice tartness. I served it with roasted pork, and it was a hit! Highly recommend this recipe.

This blaukraut was a disappointment. The cabbage was tough and the flavors were bland. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my blaukraut turned out too sour. I think I'll add less vinegar next time.
