Known as a French recipe, with similar versions prepared across other nations.

  • Home canning. Old canning methods can let botulism through. Use current tested canning guidance.

Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. 1 quart of broth
  2. Water
  3. 2 lbs. of sauerkraut

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Choose your sauerkraut white, and fresh-looking.
  2. It is used both with and without being blanched, I prefer the first mode ;
  3. and, while admitting that it loses some of its flavour in the blanching process, this is amj)ly compensated by its thereby becoming more wholesome and digestible.
  4. Take 2 lbs.
  5. of sauerkraut ;
  6. blanch, in boiling water, for ten minutes ;
  7. cool, drain, and press the water well out ;
  8. Put it in a 4 -quart stew])an ;
  9. Add : 1 quart of broth ;
  10. 1 j)int of the fat, skimmed ofT the top of the stock-pot ;
  11. and a pinch of pei)per ;
  12. Simmer, on a very slow fire, for eight hours, — the stew[)an all the time hermetically closed ;
  13. Pour out in a basin, and cover with a round of paper, ready to be warmed for use, if not used at once.
