Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3383039, member: 1220"] As Winlots stated the New Years meal ( especially sauerkraut ) is supposed to bring luck throughout the year. Fortunately, I paid attention when my mother made her sauerkraut so I can make it myself. The kraut they make in the states is too sour and no one in my family would ever eat it. We would cook the pork in the Krout. My mother would also make doughnuts and Piroshki's ( they were my favorites ). Of course that required a special dough which she would throw together without measurements which I ( and no one else in our family) could not ever attempt to duplicate. I will say that I like my version better than the one she made, probably because I adjust it to my taste. There are different types of kraut. One of which is sweet. I sort of combine the two to create a type of sweet and sauer kraut. It is very simple to make. [/QUOTE]
