We love this recipe and have used it many times. The amounts don't have to be exact. Sometimes the sauerkraut comes in different sizes. One note about that is we like to use kraut in a glass jar or the Boars Head brand. You probably want around 2 cups. Kraut in a tin can tastes like a tin can in my opinion.
