Sauerkraut

Applesauce

Method

Bratwurst Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork shoulder, pork fat, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, ground coriander, and ground mustard. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Beer

    Gradually add the Katy Trail Pale Ale to the meat mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Sausages

    Soak the hog casings in water for about 30 minutes. Rinse the casings and fit them onto a sausage stuffer. Stuff the meat mixture into the casings, being careful not to overfill. Twist sausages into desired lengths and tie off the ends.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bratwurst

    Grill or pan-fry the bratwurst over medium heat until fully cooked and browned, about 15-20 minutes.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut russet potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Mash and Season

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Sauerkraut Preparation

  1. 7

    Heat the Sauerkraut

    In a small saucepan, add sauerkraut and caraway seeds. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Applesauce Preparation

  1. 8

    Make Applesauce

    Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small pieces. In a saucepan, combine apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until apples are soft and saucy, about 10-15 minutes.
