1/4 lb Smoked Knockwurst Sausage
1/4 cup dried onion slices
2 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs vinegar
1/4 cup dried cabbage
salt and pepper to taste
shake of caraway seeds
potato flakes to thicken
*optional additions: bacon, dried apples

At Home:

Baggie together onion and cabbage. In small bottle put vinegar. In tiny baggies keep separate, brown sugar, S&P, caraway seeds, and potato flakes. Use shelf stable knockwurst (vacuum packed) or a high quality smoked sausage which does not need refrigeration.

On the Trail:

Combine onion, cabbage, brown sugar, vinegar in pot. Cover with water. Chunk up knockwurst and add to pot. Bring to a boil covered and let sit for 10 minutes. Add caraway seeds, S&P and potato flakes if needed.

Additional Suggestions:

Shelf stable bacon and/or dried apples can be added at the end. If you have a fire, cook knockwurst on stick and add at the end.

Chef Glenn's Comments:
