Grilled apples? Mostly grilled peppers & onions, brown mustard, kraut.
Uhm, speaking of kraut . . . red cabbage kraut??? Is there a recipe for that?? It sounds divine! Something we'd love.

Instead of grilled onions, I did a onion jam thing that I stole from a few ideas off another site. I think one of the ideas may have been yours.
Can be made ahead of time. You have all my favourites covered. I'm thinking my German Apple Mustard would go really well on that menu.

Okay. German apple mustard? I am going to have to do some serious sniveling around here I guess. German apple mustard sounds like it would be great with my Alsatian Duck 'n Kraut.
Please, please, please, please! I have no shame.

Oh my goodness! I forgot about the onion jam! YUMMY! I need to pull that one out for summer. That stuff is good all by itself, but on chicken and pork...even veggies, its GREAT!

cough 'em up, Lorraine - your version and the German apple mustard. (please)
Here you go, Sharon - thot I'd make this up today or tomorrow and see how it is.
Red Cabbage Sauerkraut:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups red wine vinegar
1 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large head red cabbage, thinly shredded
Salt and freshly ground pepper
In a medium saucepan, combine the oil, vinegar, water, and sugar over medium heat, and cook until the sugar has melted. Add the mustard seeds, garlic, and cabbage, and cook until the cabbage is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Thank you Jean! We still have some of the brisket left and this will be perfect with it! I'll get the cabbage tonight - after I go for my induction meeting at Curves
Yeah Lorraine - cough em up! Hungry women are waiting.
Re: Houseboat Don's Having Another Party!! - cjs - 05-21-2008
If you're going to make it tonight Sharon, I'll wait to hear from you how you and Bob like it before I test it. Good!

Guinea pigs are we??????
I just think it sounds sooooo good. I've also got some nice Polish sausages from Schwans in the freezer - it would be really good with those (I simmer them in red wine). Yummy weekend this is going to be.

We live right next to Wisconsin, who I think consumes most of the world's surplus of brats. Anyway, there is a delicous recipe for brat with carmelized onions and apples. I have had it and it is soooooo good. There was clove in it and black pepper and a little bit of brown sugar for carmelizing purposes. I don't have access to my recipes right now, but I am sure you could find one on the web if necessary.
My hubby likes coleslaw on his brat, fresh and crispy with a little horseradish.
