Even though this recipe for sauerkraut balls is americanized, it combines ingredients eastern europeans lovesauerkraut, ham, onion, and garlic. When rolled, dipped in fine cracker crumbs and fried, they make a tasty appetizer, especially if served with honey mustard, and would be ideal for tailgating, potlucks, and other entertaining. For a lower-fat version, they can be baked in the oven. This recipe is adapted from one by the fremont company, makers of snowfloss and frank's sauerkraut.
