Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Drain the sauerkraut only if it is too salty, otherwise use it with its own liquid.
  2. Heat the lard in a large saucepan.
  3. Take a handful of the sauerkraut and squeeze it dry.
  4. Put it in the hot lard and fry it until the sauerkraut has brown edges.
  5. Add the sauerkraut, apples, bay leaf, onion (if using), caraway seeds and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  6. Add water to just barely cover the sauerkraut.
  7. Bring to a boil; lower the heat and simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  8. Add more sugar, if needed, gradually while the sauerkraut is cooking, tasting often.
  9. The sauerkraut should be pleasantly sweet-sour but not too sweet.
