Yeaah... next one I do I'll see if I can't setup a cam and do a vid. But honestly, it's not that hard. Use a 8" thin backed boning knife and follow the curves in the bone. The toughest part is around the shoulder socket. And that's not too tough either.

Phew! Smells to be just about done! I'm assuming that since not ALL the shreds I can see have attained a "translucent" look, a little more time remains?

Has a nice kraut smell, tart and with the hint of horseradish. I think I got a winner, but a little more time will tell, I'm guessing!

A couple more days oughta do it!...Remember...Don't forget the K-view!!...

I think you're right!...You DO have a winner there!...

Gonna can it, or freeze it, or what?...

I dont know how anyone eats that stuff. My grandpa makes it every year and it stinks soooo bad, before and after you eat it.

 

[richtee]

Where you watching the game Sat? I'll get the seat next to you :{)

 

[coleysmokinbbq]

Hiya Rich!!...

Canning is always good...but, so is freezing!...Either way will change the texture a bit...

Just a thought (brain-phart)...I wonder about vac packing for freezing and including some smoked sausage, etc. so it can come outta the freezer and straight into the pan??...Yes?...No?...

Try quartering some apples to add to it when placing in the pan...Delicious that way!...

 

[richtee]

Hmmmm Well, I like the flavors...OK. I'll Vacpak a serving with a Granny and some kolbasz. Yumm!

 

[coleysmokinbbq]

Simple!...Hold yer nose!...I ya can get past the SMELL...you've got it EAT!!...

[twistertail]

I'll probably be able to smell you from here!

 

[twistertail]

i might have to eat some just so I've got a fighting chance, or maybe just double up on the beans.

 

[coleysmokinbbq]

Ahhh!...Sauerkraut!...Great stuff for the nerves and blood pressure!!...

WHY, you ask?...It'll keep folks from gettin 'up in yer face'!...That's why!...

Throw in the beans, and you can REALLY live in peace!!...lol...

[coleysmokinbbq]

Sooo...How's the sauerkraut doin' today, Rich??...

 

[richtee]

It's doing well. Or it died. The aroma is similar, I guess... hehe.

 

[coleysmokinbbq]

One or the other!...lol...Maybe that's what gags Geek and FBJ!...

Ever try makin' any kim chee?...

 

[twistertail]

Well, I could not wait any longer. I scooped out a cup and cooked it with some polish style sausage I left fresh and some bacon ends. Simmered in beer/water.

Altho the "aroma" was QUITE kraut-like, it's not done yet. Still had a "cabbagey" flavor. Not bad...actually I enjoyed it. But still is not done, I guess.
