This recipe is from Fredericksburg, TX which was settled in the 1840's by Germans who came over with a German prince who wanted to establish a colony in the New World. After a few years the prince got bored and returned to Europe, but his fellow Germans stayed behind. This was printed in a cookbook published on the 125th anniversary of Fredericksburg. You can also use weinkraut, which I would, but Recipezaar has never heard of it. Ingredients:
1 pint sauerkraut |
1 medium sized apple, cut into small cubes |
1 potato, peeled, & cut into small cubes |
1 onion, cut into small cubes |
2 cups hot water |
2 tablespoons bacon drippings or 3 slices bacon, cut into small pieces |
8 hot dogs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place the cubed apple, potato, and onion in a saucepan along with the hot water. Boil until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the sauerkraut or weinkraut and the bacon drippings or the bacon. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours. About 10 minutes before dish is done, add the hot dogs and replace cover, if wished.
