I like a touch of Chachere's on the pork

Try adding some caraway seeds to the kraut when cooking. Thank me later.

Will do.

That's been a staple in my family since I was born......I'm pretty sure that Gerber even makes a pork and kraut baby food!

..,But sold only in PA stores.
(and maybe N. Maryland.)

One recipe I had never had until I shacked up with the GF is pork and sauerkraut. They sell big bags of refrigerated kraut right next to the boston butts here - always wondered why.
Some mashed potatoes on the side - I like a touch of Chachere's on the pork

Poor a bottle of your favorite beer or cider (hard or not) in the crockpot with some cut up granny smith apples or a few sweet potatoes, a family "twist" here that gets rave reviews (plus I make my own kraut, an added plus)

Geez, guess what I want for breakfast.

Does it give about the same taste as fermenting the kraut with caraway? firebroad suggested caraway in the fermenter, but the wife is not as big a fan as I am (at least in baked goods), so this seems like a good way to test it out before I make 30# of kraut thatshe won't eat.

I have been flipping through slow cooker cookbooks...cheese cake is possible! Oh my!

Last night I was lazy and threw Spanish rice ( two boxes ) 4 cups water and chicken in. It turned out amazing this morning ! Sometimes the simpler the better with a crock pot.

I dont ferment anything with my cabbage, I add it when use it, naked kraut is what I can. I like caraway but it doesn't agree with me. My hubby loves it and just sprinkles it on before he eats it.

I agree with Jeni. Add the stuff when cooking the Kraut. A blank canvass has more versatility than something that is already tainted with a flavor.

Folks seem to like the Cuisinarts a lot. FWIW, this unit is the top seller at Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCV...en-Stainless/dp/B001KVZTFO/ref=zg_bs_694666_1
For affordability the Hamilton Beach 33565Simplicity 6 qt. gets high marks.

Picked up the Hamilton Beach 6quart 33969. Thanks all!
