Chop the onions and apples into small chunks


Rinse the Kraut in a strainer and place in the crockpot or Dutch oven. Add the caraway seeds and crushed juiniper seeds if you want.

Add the beef stock, apples and onions.

Add the Rippchen and simmer for about 4 -6 hours until the chops register about 200 degrees or are fork tender. Don't over cook or they will separate from the bone.


 

I serve this with a dish called Himmel and Erde , it is basically potatoes cooked with apples and mashed and topped with grilled onions.
