Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 pounds Sauerkraut
2 slices Bacon
2 Onions, chopped
4 Pork chops
2 Apples
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
8 Peppercorns
1 cup Wine, white
2 pounds Sausage

For sausage, use mild Italian sausages, bratwurst, or kielbasa.
Dice bacon. Place sauerkraut in strainer. Rinse under cold water. Drain
well. Using a large frying pan, saute bacon with onions and chops until
meat is browned.
Peel and dice apples. Place sauerkraut and apples in crockpot. Arrange
chops and onions on top. Add garlic, peppercorns, and wine. Cover. Cook
on low (200) 4-6 hours.
Add sausages. Cook 1 hour longer.
Sylvia's comments: I only used 1/2 the sauerkraut (didn't look at the can
size) and wish I'd had enough. I didn't drain it, and the canning liquid
gave a lovely taste to the dish. I didn't precook anything, just layered
it in the crockpot, turned it on in the morning before leaving for work,
served it over quickly-cooked noodles when we got home that night.
Thoroughly satisfactory. I think when I made a similar recipe years ago,
it included a little brown sugar, and I'll add some next time. But it was
delicious as printed. And they were GENEROUS servings!
