UNCLE EMIL'S CZECH-STYLE SAUERKRAUT
Growing up we ate this delicious sauerkraut w/roast pork & roast duck dinners, often w/dumplings as a 2nd side dish. Every family's treasured recipe has a story. My great-uncle Emil (Placek) was Czech by heritage, but American born. 1 dy he walked into a diner in Nebr & was face-to-face w/my Irish great-aunt Loretta (Sullivan). She was cookin up a storm & he was hungry & smitten, so it was a fated marriage of "sweet & sauer". Lots of Irish colleens followed my Aunt Loretta & made great kraut using applesauce & Step #5 below. We all overuse the word "best" if talking about things we love, so I won't do that. This is the BEST! (Noted time is 30 min total for all prep & cooking)

Steps:
- Put sauerkraut & liquid, butter & caraway seeds in a lrg saucepan over med heat. When the mixture begins to bubble slightly, lower heat to simmer.
- Peel & grate the potato & onion. Add them to top of the kraut & press lightly into the kraut w/the flat surface of a spoon. Do not stir into the kraut.
- Cover & cont to simmer (add sml amt of water as needed) till the grated potato is cooked. Now combine the pan contents (this process keeps raw potato from scorching &/or sticking to the bottom of the pan).
- Add the applesauce, mix well & taste. Add more applesauce if you prefer a sweeter, more apple flavored kraut.
- All we need now is some meat flavor in the kraut. If you have meat drippings for that, deglaze your meat pan & add to the kraut. If not, add a chicken bouillon cube to the kraut. Be sure it's completely dissolved & mixed in well w/the kraut. Serve it up!
- NOTES: After pan contents are combined in #3, stir freq to ck moisture & prevent any ingredients from sticking to the pan. --- After the last step, you can cont to simmer if you feel the kraut is too liquid, but is unlikely to be needed.

Steps:
- Break away any bad outside leaves and discard.
- Rinse cabbage under cold running water.
- Cut cabbage heads into quarters.
- Do not use cores, discard them after shredding.
- Finely shred cabbage or slice with a good sharp knife.
- In a large crock, layer with 2 inches of shredded cabbage.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of pickling salt.
- Place sliced pieces of one red pepper over.
- Repeat layering until all cabbage, salt and red pepper are used up.
- There should be about 4 layers.
- Pour water over cabbage.
- Now pour the wine over cabbage.
- Place a large plate to cover most of the top surface of the cabbage.
- Place a 4 to 5 pound clean rock (cleaned and washed and soaked in white vinegar) on top of the plate as a weight.
- If liquid does not come to the surface, just add a bit more cold water (or wine if you prefer.) Cover top with several layers of cheesecloth and tie with a good string so the cloth does not fall off.
- Leave cabbage to ferment for 2 to 3 weeks in a warm area (70 F to 75 F) or until it starts to foam around the edges of the plate.
- Move the crock to a cooler area (about 60 F to 65 F) and continue to ferment for another 2 weeks.
- At this time, taste to see if the sauerkraut is curing.
- When it suits your taste, pack the sauerkraut and some liquid into 12 sterilized quart size jars leaving a 1/2" head space.
- Wipe jar rims clean.
- Prepare and place lids according to manufacturers instructions.
- Place screw lids on just finger tight.
- Process in boiling water in a canner for 25 minutes.
- Remove jars and allow to cool for 12 hours.
- Check to see if all jars are sealed.
- Lids should be concave (curved down).
- Re-process jars that are not sealed, but remember to change with new lids.
- Store in a cool, dark place.
