2 - 3 tart apples
2 cloves garlic
salt, few juniper berries
white wine
1/4 - 1/2 L / 1 - 2 cups water
Preparation
Sauté the finely chopped onion in the butter until tender, add the thinly sliced
peeled apples and chopped garlic to the onion. Add the Sauerkraut unwashed to the onions
and sauté for a few minutes. Add some water, the juniper berries, salt and simmer
