Steps

1

First prepare big sauce pan for apple,onion and cabbage. I chopped all up and sauteed in bacon fat.
2

You can also use EVO or Butter to saute apple and onion, your choice!
3

Saute onions, apple and purple cabbage until soft, keeping the lid on helps cook because of steam.
4

Add the chicken broth and vinegar and sugar, plus a bay leaf or two.
5

Keep tasting it, add sugar/vinegar chicken broth as needed until tender.
6

You will be the judge of how sweet it should be compared to the sauerkraut, should be a nice contrast on the toungue
7

Saute the pork or braise it to sear in the flavor before putting it in the crock pot with the store bought sauerkraut.
8

The sweet purple cabbage you cook till tender in its own sautee pan or pot.
9

Then comes the bread dumplings
10

Use any kind of bread you want. Homemade or store bought work the same. Just make sure its stale/dried out.
11

These are my homemade over a few months. To make the best, just cube up your old bread and stash it in a paper bag in the pantry! Its the best you ever had homemade dried bread for stuffing, bread pudding and this, the best dumplings on the planet lol
12

Scranble 1 egg and 1 Tbs water together, then use your hands because you can actually feel if its too dry or too wet,squeeze and form the dough balls and press hard, will fall apart when boiling if you don't! And have a small bowl of water to wet your fingers as needed to keep from sticking, and get the perfect texture while forming dumplings.
13

Some recioes boil them in water, I put them in the pot. Another 30 minutes after the pork in the pot is falling apart.
14

ENJOY!!! Sorry, my plate was gone before I could take a picture. Enjoy everyone!!!

Ratio to dried breadcrumbs to wet ingredients, its 4 cups dried bread to 1 egg/ 1Tbs water. Dad said the dumplings with this combo had the best BITE lol. I will have to agree! I'm a cook not a chef, sorry most ingredients don't have exact measurements. That's how we cook in my family, just go with the flow lol 😋
