2 tablespoons flour
3 quarts sauerkraut
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sautéed
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 cup dry red wine

Cook the onions in the fat from the salt pork until limp.
Add the flour, and blend well.
Stir in the sauerkraut and mushrooms,
Add all the diced meats, including the salt pork, and the salt, pepper, and sugar.
Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.

Traditionally so much time was spent in preparing this dish that one is not expected to eat it on the first day. It keeps for
several days in your refrigerator, and it is much better heated up.
