My mom also use makes these. They're wonderful and great for any party. These were even served at my wedding. Thanks for posting this recipe, we had lost it over the years. :)

I made them exactly as written and they were wonderful. They made 6 large ones but next time I will make them smaller to feed a larger group. I do not care much for sauerkraut and even I fell in love with them. Thanks.
