Grandma Russo's -New Year Eve Stew

The  Grandma Russo New Year Eve Stew Tradition 

Every New Year Eve remembering as far back as a child my Grandma  Russo would make this stew of Pork & Sauerkraut  that we would eat the strike of midnight to welcome the New Year with this ritual to attract good fortune as we watched  and Listen to Guy Lombardo – Auld Lang &  made noise with banging her Pots & pans with wooden spoons at the strike of Midnight . 

Picture of Grandma & I -I miss her & her COOKING!

I'm so grateful my husband, Rick watched her make this because I never took the time  to jot down  the Recipe from my grandmother  so he continues the Russo tradition for me by making my grandma's recipe every New Years Eve. 

It is a required taste but we LOVE it!
