HOMEMADE SAUERKRAUT
This is a comfort food that reminds me of visiting my grandparents. They always had kielbasa and sauerkraut among the holiday feasts. Kielbasa tastes best when it is sliced thickly and placed on the bottom of the pot before you begin cooking.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh sauerkraut. Fresh sauerkraut has a better flavor and texture than canned sauerkraut. If you can't find fresh sauerkraut, you can use canned sauerkraut, but be sure to rinse it well before using.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the sauerkraut. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming too wet.
- Use a variety of onions. This will add flavor and complexity to the bread. You can use white onions, yellow onions, red onions, or a combination of all three.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
