1/2 cup dark beer (such as porter)

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

1 12-ounce bottle Belgian kriek (cherry) or raspberry lambic beer

2 tablespoons sugar

6 grilled hot dog buns

Mustard

Method

Simmer sauerkraut, beer, and sugar in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes. Season with pepper.
