I used to love the "OLD" style Sauerkraut. My Grandmother used to make it, fermented it in a big oaken Keg.
Today, getting that kind of Kraut in Germany is almost impossible, They have the same manufactured stuff we have. The last time my mother came here, she thought our Sauerkraut was superior to theirs.
Drain, add Butter, caraway seeds, a few Elder berries and heat for a while. Not bad.
So, do you now smell like elder berries?
