  1. If you like sauerkraut that is relaively sour, do not rinse it but
  simply sqeeze it dry. If you like it less sour, however, rinse it
  under cold running water and drain in a colander. Press to extract
  excess moisture. 2. Heat the bacon in a casserole or dutch oven and
  cook until rendered of fat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until
  the onion is wilted. 3. Add the sauerkraut. Tie the bay leaf, juniper
  berries and caraway seeds in a small cheesecloth bag and add it. Add
  the wine and the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Arrange the ham
  steak and sausage in or over the sauerkraut. Cover closely and cook 1
  hr. 4. Discard the cheesecloth bag. Serve the sauerkraut and meats
  with boiled potatoes, rye or pumpernickle bread and mustard on the
  side.
