TRADITIONAL SAUERBRATEN

Traditional Sauerbraten image

I found two slightly different hand written versions of this, my Grandmother's recipe. Born in Nekkar am Rhein in the 1904, she naturally learned to cook traditional German meals as a young woman and didn't rely on a cookbook. I try to capture the nuance in this. Serve with potato dumplings.

GERMAN SWEET AND SOUR MEAT

German Sweet and Sour Meat image

My grandmother made this, my mother made it, and I have made it for years for my family. It is great to do in the crock pot as well-about 5 hours on low or until tender. My son LOVES this, and it is perfect with egg noodles and a side of Red Cabbage. To me, this is the ultimate comfort food.
