Tip for freezing sauerkraut.
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. Dee Dee |

Did it develop visibles or an off-taste? Or maybe an off-off-taste since kraut starts out kinda off. |

Actually, I don't know if it did go bad, but the time it was left in the refrigerator for an amount of time, and the fact that these 2-3 brands I bought were not the usually heavily salted sauerkraut, time in the refrigerator was my guide to dumping it. (And I wasn't quite up to tasting it at that point ;-))) Wish I could be of more help -- I couldn't even help myself in this instance. Dee Dee |

I keep opened Kraut in the fridge pretty much all the time. I get cravings for it. Busch, Claussen, Boar's Head, Kroger store brand. Might be a month, maybe longer. But it still tastes like Kraut and I've had no adverse reactions. 'Cept maybe bad breath for a while. |
