I still feel the childhood canned sauerkraut pain! But the other day we had a potluck at work and this wonderful smell drove me forward. Only tried a bite, and was very good, so I'm willing to give it another try-if she makes it-NO CANNED STUFF!!!

as would my husband, oddly enough. in his food formative
years, his mother ate cold sauerkraut out of the aluminum
can. i believe the trauma has lasted until this day,
altho he will eat a small serving of this sauerkraut on
holidays. which is when i make it, out of deference to
his.... pain.
the dumplings are a vague recipe learned when i was young.
about a cup of flour, 1/4 tsp salt, black pepper to
taste, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, water until it looks
right. once i added caraway seeds and it tasted great,
but looked like i used buggy flour. 8) so add seeds to
the kraut, not the dumplings.
the sauerkraut needs to be a bit soupy. in a crock pot i
mix 1 jar of sauerkraut, 1 small chopped onion, 1 small
chopped apple, about 1 cup of white wine, a heaping
tablespoon of brown sugar (not packed), fennel or caraway
as you like, and lay some plain pork sausages or pork
chops on top and cook until the sausage/pork is about
done. then i moosh (technical term) everything around and
drop the dumpling batter on top, return the crock pot lid
and cook until the dumplings are done.
it's a meal in itself.
