Steps:

• 1. In a small glass measuring cup combine 1/3 cup cider vinegar with 1/3 cup water. Add 10 ginger snaps and let them break down..you may need to help them out with a fork-ideally you want it smooth. Set aside for later.
• 2. Brown meat on high heat in lg stock pot with oil to coat. when browned remove and add chopped onion to pan to slightly brown them. Replace meat and add water until the water is two thirds of the way up the meat(not quite covering it).
• 3. Cover and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes. Add Allspice, bouillon cubes, bay leaves, gravy master and pepper. Cook for 1 and 1/2 hours or until meat is "fork tender".
• 4. add ginger snap mix, and raise heat for a bit until your sweet and sour meat gravy thickens,it should not take more than a few minutes. Then serve over buttered egg noodles.

TRADITIONAL SAUERBRATEN

Steps:

• Place beef rump roast, onions, vinegar, water, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, sugar, cloves, and bay leaves in a large pot. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days, turning meat daily. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels, reserving marinade.
• Season flour to taste with salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Sprinkle flour mixture over beef.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat; cook beef until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Pour reserved marinade over beef, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until beef is tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove beef to a platter and slice.
• Strain solids from remaining liquid and continue cooking over medium heat. Add gingersnap cookies and simmer until gravy is thickened about 10 minutes. Serve gravy over sliced beef.

GERMAN SWEET & SOUR STIR-FRY

Steps:

• FYI: This entire meal can be made in one large teflon skillet with a lid very easily. This makes for easy clean up and keeps the mess down in the kitchen. ;).
• Chop or slice the smoked sausage into medallions or cubes, your choice. Toss into a skillet with the oil and the green onion. Cook until the green onion is becoming soft and cooked, and the meat is getting that nice brown stuff we all like to taste on it. (A teflon pan works well for this task.)
• Next, mix the flour, sugar, salt, celery seed, dry mustard and pepper in a small bowl. Add the water and vinegar, stirring briskly until mixed well.
• Put this mixture in the skillet on medium heat, stirring until it becomes thick and bubbly.
• Add the shredded cabbage. I used a whole head of cabbage, so I paid attention to how well this sauce coated the cabbage. I added a bit more water while the cabbage cooked down to ensure the sauce stayed, "saucy." It wasn't watery, just moist. Probably a total of 1/2 cup total during the cooking process.
• Cook cabbage at medium heat (hot enough to cook down the cabbage, but not to burn it to the bottom of the pan), keeping it covered and stirring occasionally. Taste it during this time. You will need to salt it to your tastes. As it starts to soften, add in the sausage and green onion mixture.
• Cook this until it reaches the texture of your preference, either crispy, medium crispy or soft. Stir occasionally during this process, but keep covered otherwise.
• Serve!
