However, I recall my mom and grandmother simmering them all day long on the stove.......probably a larger batch.
I don't recall the barley in with it...............but I DO remember them making "barley soup"....

POLISH SAUERKRAUT WITH SPARE RIBS
Printed from COOKS.COM
2 lb. spare ribs
1 qt. sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1/4 tsp. caraway seeds
3 qt. cold water
1 lg. onion
1 tbsp. barley; optional

Cover spare ribs with cold water and bring to boiling point. Skim and add chopped onion, sauerkraut, seeds and barley. Simmer uncovered about 2 hours or until meat is tender. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with rye bread or mashed or fried potatoes.
This is another one that was made at home growing up and was always server with mashed potatoes. It included the barley but there was very little of it as this recipe shows.
