Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Zweigle’s White Hots
  • 3 cups fresh sauerkraut
  • 1 small jar applesauce
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 apple, cut in chunks
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Dash cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Drain sauerkraut and rinse in a colander with cold water.
  2. Squeeze out water and simmer sauerkraut in a pot with applesauce and enough apple juice to steam it.
  3. In a large pan, brown sliced onions in butter. When browned, sprinkle in brown sugar and raise heat to high to caramelize the onion.
  4. Add chunks of fresh apple. Lower the heat and saute for a few minutes. Add apples and onions to sauerkraut.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle in a little cinnamon. Grill White Hots over medium heat, turning frequently.
  6. Serve sauerkraut on platter topped with grilled white hots.
  7. Substitution: Change it up by trying the same recipe with Zweigle's Polish Sausage or Knockwurst.
