Yesterday I thawed some sauerkraut and meatballs I froze a while
back. Either my taste buds are failing or it had lost its sour
taste. I Googled but saw nothing about this 'problem'. Anyone
else ever notice this? It was fine when I froze it.

TIA

No idea. Hubby hates sauerkraut, so we never eat it at home and I
only eat it in a Rubin sandwich. Do you have any more? Maybe a dash
of vinegar will help it.

Freezing sauerkraut does indeed change its taste and I posted about it
once. The ice crystals form, rupturing the cell walls; some of the
organic acids break down; the saccharose gets inverted. The sauerkraut
gets softer and sweeter in a different and somewhat more intensive way.
Some acidity ought to be still there, though.

Yes, about three more batches in the freezer. Still have thw last of it
left over from the first frozen batch for supper - I use it spread over
dumplings.

The thought had crossed my mind. I wonder if this is same sour taste as
normal sauerkraut?

Not the same. Vinegar is acetic acid while sauerkraut is
lactic acid. It might be good anyway.

It seems to me that would be desired, based on all the recipes that
call for simmering it in apple juice.

[i don't think it's much different, really]

food tastes different,
depending on how you feel, any particular day

hungry, full
tired
sick
starved,
just out of a concentration camp hungry
eating becuase it's time to eat, and not really hungry

I looked the word "pussy" up, and it said "see miss Recktum."
LOL

I freeze kraut all the time because I can't finish a whole package in a reasonable
amount of time...it always maintains its sour-ness ....

But then it'll be limp and flaccid like a you know what... you'd never
want to use it... were it me I'd use the left overs in some recipe,
I've used left over sauerkraut in my bread machine, makes wonderful
rye breads:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/17808/s...aut-rye-bread/
Don't toss the kraut juice, makes great bloody marys.
For fantastic kraut2nis use kraut juice in place of vermouth... and
toss those faux pimentos and stuff the olives with kraut.

WOW! Sheldon, that looks AWESOME for a bread machine. Its the first
link there and i think this looks like a keeper here.

Charlotte and Don do not like the idea of it but i want to try it. I
have everything but the sauerkraut. (regular butter, Kerry gold not
required).

Do you think a canned type would work? It's not a food item seen here
often so I'd have to go out and get some. Canned would be easier to
find here.

I can tell drain the krout really well and make this in dough mode then
let rise in peace for 1.5 hours then bake.

I think Silver Floss brand is better than most from a plastic IV bag.
I like their Bavarian style because I like caraway seeds.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Silver-Flo....4-Oz/10452864
They sometimes have the 27 ounce size so I get those.
I'd like to try their other flavors but I haven't seen them:
http://glkfoods.com/OurBrands.html
I never have left over sauerkraut to refrigerate, I can easily finish
the entire can in one sitting, even the large can. I can eat a can of
Silver Floss and a can of Spam for brunch and won't need to eat until
the next day... and it's a fantastic way to clean the digestive tract.
