New Years Day Dinner Recipe

I grew up in the same place, and I prefer a milder sauerkraut (no it is not the same as boiled cabbage). No need for the beer, in my humble opinion. My husband used to drink a beer with the meal. AT least you don't ruin it by adding sugar, as in some recipes. We used to make it first thing in the morning, to give it a couple of hours in the oven. But, if want to do it in a crockpot, that would be OK, too. Regardless of how you prefer to do it, the pork is considered good luck in many cultures, so it traditional.
