Maybe I’m more of a clove fan than you Carol – but the amount is certainly easily adjustable. I would reccomend you seek out juniper berries though since the amount of gin you would need to get the same taste would be substantial. And bacon grease is a nice idea for a dish like this – although you’re already getting a pretty heavy dose of pork products
And thank you for commenting – I really like getting feedback on the recipes – nice to know someone is trying them out….

A little too clove-y for me, but I will make this again, with fewer cloves. I also substituted bacon grease for oil, and added a little more wine. Oh, and I didn’t have any juniper berries, so I added 1/2 cup gin (I guess we could call this Martini Choucroute). Other than the too strong clove flavor, it was excellent.

Hi Matt,
We have been invited to attend a gourmet club this Saturday. The main course is choucourte, the first course something seafood. We have been asked to bring “Nibbles” and Champagne. Could you suggest something complimentary and impressive? Thanks for the short notice. KD
