Step by step how to cook German Style Stewed Sauerkraut with Sausages:
- Gather your ingredients! If you can, use fresh sauerkraut found in the refrigerated section of the store or homemade sauerkraut. If not, the jarred ones are okay..
- Lightly press the juniper berries under a knife. This helps them release their flavor..
- Put sauerkraut into a pot along with about 1 cup of its juices and 1 cup of water. Add all the spices and bring to a boil..
- Turn heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes. Check it a couple times to make sure it still has enough liquid left to simmer. Add a little water if it's getting too low. It should be "moist" but not soupy..
- Add wine and bring to simmer again. Add sausages and cook on low for an additional 15 minutes. If you prefer, you may also pan-fry or grill the sausages separately, then serve with the kraut instead..
- Serve with boiled or roasted potatoes, or your favorite hearty bread..
