Sausage and sauerkraut

Preparing:

Crush the bacon finely and fry it in a pan: add the well washed sauerkraut  along with the sliced onion and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
Meanwhile, peel, chop and season the apple, place it in a pan on high heat with a knob of butter, sprinkling generously with Grappa.
Add the diced sauerkraut, pour a glass of white wine and add a bay leaf and a few pepper grains.
Cover the pan and simmer sauerkraut  for at least four hours, adding some hot  brot from time to time.
When partially cooked, add the pierced sausage to sauerkraut, then finish cooking.
Remove the bay leaf and chopped the sausage. Serve along  with warm cornmeal mush slices.
