Sep. 29th, 2013 08:10 pmLast week's Resolution Recipe: Sauerkraut Jam.
Take several (sealed) jars of house-cured sauerkraut that have been sitting in back of the fridge.
Cook some garlic and onion in duck fat until they turn golden. Dump in the contents of the jars. Cover (barely) with water, put a lid on, and simmer over lowest heat for hours. The sauerkraut will turn into a brown, caramel-y jam.
What worked: Good way to use up some leftover kraut. It was okay with lamb (see below) but brilliant as a pickle with brussels sprouts. Also very good as a spread in a roast beef sandwich with Gorgonzola.
What didn't: It didn't add anything to the lamb, honestly.
Will I make it again? While a good way to use up kraut, it was probably more effort than it was worth.
