This was my Polish mother-in-law's recipe... It is so easy... and so good! The onion and apple and butter browned together give the sauerkraut a gentler yet full flavor. Add additional ingredients or don't... it is a great recipe how ever you decide to put it together. Traditions are great.. but sometimes it is cool to change things up a bit! Play With Your Food! xo
