"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
Dice up the salt pork and sauté with onions. Place in a large pot

Cut spare ribs into portions. Add pork to pot, top with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, add two bay leaves and simmer on low for about 2 hours until fork tender.
Add cabbage and sauerkraut to pot (note I had to remove half of the pork, add half of the cabbage and sauerkraut, add the pork back in, and top off with the remaining cabbage and sauerkraut in order to fit it in my pot). Simmer for another 45 minutes until cabbage is cooked, think low and slow.
