  1. I cannot see the entire recipe due to your lovely photo of the two of you...I have been looking for years for a recipe that sounds like this may be it. We purchased a jar at a Church Sale and it was kind of sweet and a little hot and I ate almost the entire jar by myself. I could never track down the recipe. Thanks for posting it...I am hoping this is the one! -Nola

  2. Does the brine have to be cooked and hot and also does the kraut have to be cooked (meaning hot) or just from the can? How long do they keep after being canned and also, I can't see what to do with the lids...can you tell I don't can??? LOL.

    1. Not necessary to cook your kraut, but the brine does need to be hot. Cook your brine to dissolve the sugar and salt. Your lids should also be hot, put them in a small pan with water covering them and put them on low to medium heat. I find if you put your ingredients for the brine together and then stuff your peppers, you can turn your brine on to cook when you are about 1/2 way done stuffing the peppers, because that's going to take some time.
