Fresh Kielbasa and Sauerkraut

Cover the kielbasa with water and simmer gently until cooked through.

Saute onions in a large skillet until translucent.

Add sauerkraut, applesauce, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper; simmer until the kraut softens.

Cut the kielbasa into thick pieces and add it to the sauerkraut with a little cooking broth.

Simmer again so the sausage and kraut share their flavors.

Serve with boiled potatoes and slices of pumpernickel.
