THE AMISH COOK
By Gloria Yoder
Editor's Note: Gloria took a much-deserved week off for the holiday, so we are sharing a few favorite recipes of hers (and readers) this week and she will return next week.
This is a favorite recipe on a cold winter's day or save it for next New Year's!
NEW YEAR'S SAUERKRAUT WITH SAUSAGE
1 pound bulk sausage, browned
1 large can or bag sauerkraut
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 diced onion
1 cup ketchup
Mix all ingredients. Bake at 275 for 4-5 hours. Stir occasionally. You may want to add a little water to desired consistency.
And if you are tired of all the holiday sweets putting on pounds, try this healthier alternative.
