A Fall Favorite

Here's a great dish to make that is very easy and very satisfying for these wet cool days... Pork & Sauerkraut!  I remember my mom making this for us...although, as I recall, she & I were more likely to eat this than anyone else in the family.

One slab of Pork Ribs - spare ribs work great...just slice every two ribs or so, and lightly salt and pepper them.
Place in a large stock pot.  Add one package of sauerkraut.  Add water to cover all the meat.  You can also add some wine if you like...a Riesling would work fine here.  Place lid slightly ajar.  Turn heat to medium high.  Stir as necessary and add more liquid if needed.  Cook until meat is nearly falling off the bones.  This will take anywhere from 3-4 hours.  Place meat and sauerkraut in bowls along with some of the rich liquid which has developed.  Serve with a nice crusty bread and , of course, a fine wine.   Guten Appetit!
