I made this recipe for New Years Day this year and it was a hit!!! I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut, but this is great! I omitted the juniper berries as well. I thought adding grated potatoes sounded strange, but it was reallllly good and easy!!! Thanks Emeril!

I HATE Sauerkraut, but it is a traditional dish for my family to eat on New Year's Day. This is the first time in my life that I have actually liked a sauerkraut dish. I followed the recipe to a T, except for the Juniper Berries, which I could not find. This dish is easy, fast and tastey. Thank you Emeril for making a traditional dish an enjoyable dish. Now if you could only do something about Black Eyed Peas :

I make this every New Year and several times throughout the year. I have omitted the berries and in a pinch substituted a cup of all natural, no sugar added applesauce for the Granny Smith apple which i forgot to buy at the supermarket. It was just as good!
