When digging through old recipe books and cards sometimes you find something interesting (or more of a WTF?). This is one of those things. I am actually tempted though to try it but this is something I would not use good sauerkraut in. The canned stuff should be fine- no using the stuff from my friends at  Barrel and Brine-  (seriously please click through and throw them a few dollars of support to help them feed their neighborhood during Covid-19)
