  3. Stir in 2 pounds sauerkraut (drained), 1 cup apple juice, ½ cup water, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Mix well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
