How do you prepare Sauerkraut?

[JediJohnnie]

I'm always trying to eat healthier, so I figured I try some sauerkraut. I was kinda surprised that it actually takes some preparation. I figured it was merely a low tech Cole Slaw. But I have no idea how to make this now. Anyone else make sauerkraut?

My advice would be open the trash can lid, throw it inside, then take out the trash.

I don't know, never have made it.

I take it, it's not worth the effort?

We have a local festival that sells it every year along with great sausage, so we buy a bunch and freeze it in individual meal sized serving size freezer bags. Then it's simple to drop it in a sauce pan and heat it up for a great meal. It's coming up soon, so you got my mouth watering already.

I don't......and I don't eat it either!!=)

I love it but I am half German and that is a staple in a good brat dinner.

I found a site that tells you how to make it.  Sounds really simple.
