Default Tip for freezing sauerkraut.

On Tue 29 Jan 2008 05:54:41p, Dee.Dee told us...

> Thanks, Wayne, for letting us know that sauerkraut can be frozen. I
> have bought as of late good quality sauerkraut in a jar and have
> discarded perhaps 2/3 of it each time. The expense is one part of the
> discouragement, but to lose a good portion of a good product is hard to
> take.
>
> From a purchase yesteday of 8 thick pork chops weighing 5#, ending up
> costing $10.00 (with my coupon of $5 off), I set them side-up in a slow
> cooker (outside underneath the eves, because it was misting cold rain
> all day) for about 6-1/2 hours.
> I dripped separately on each a concentrate of pomegranate juice, a
> little worcestshire sauce, and balsamic, salt and pepper.
> Pretty good.
>
> I had frozen the sauerkraut into a pint Ball jar, which I had taken out
> yesterday and put into the refrigerator. It pulled out of the jar
> perfectly and placed with a little water into a heavy ss pan and heated.
>
> Left-over pinto beans, stalks of celery and carrots. Good meal for us.
>
> The other 6 pork chops will go into the freezer in separate packages.
> One or two will be used in tortillas, pulled.

> Thanks again, Wayne for your tip. It is a lasting gift.
