                    The bacon for this recipe can be used in the Sauerkraut Mashed Potatoes recipe included in this German meal. And what a tasty use for bacon drippings! The tangy mustard and brown sugar make this quick-and-easy German Bratwurst recipe from the Test Kitchen something special. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                4 bacon strips, diced  |  
                                                5 uncooked bratwurst links  |  
                                                1 teaspoon cornstarch  |  
                                                1/4 cup chicken broth  |  
                                                2 tablespoons dijon mustard  |  
                                                1 tablespoon brown sugar  |  
                                                1 tablespoon white wine or additional chicken broth  |  
                                                1 tablespoon cider vinegar  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon celery seed  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels (save for another use). Drain, reserving 4 tablespoons drippings. In the drippings, cook bratwurst for 10-15 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. Drain skillet. 2. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth; set aside. Add the mustard, brown sugar, wine, vinegar and celery seed to skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is hot and bubbly. 3. Gradually add cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return bratwurst to the pan; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes longer or until glazed. Yield: 5 servings.                              |
