Add it to the pork along with potatoes and caraway seeds. 'Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour, or until potatoes are done. Blend flour into sour cream and pour over sauerkraut and pork, shaking pot from side to side so cream will work its way through.

Cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until entire goulash is thoroughly heated.

Season to taste and serve.

Variations:

1. Potatoes can be boiled separately in salted water and served along with this dish. Strictly speaking it is not then a "one pot" meal, but it will be easier to reheat leftovers and the sauerkraut will be less inclined to become pasty.

2. A peeled and sliced apple can be added to the sauerkraut.

3. In Bavaria, 1 tablespoon tomato puree' is mixed into and added with sour cream.
