Pork and Sauerkraut
Always serve Pork & Sauerkraut with a large bowl of mashed potatoes!
1 lean pork roast, about 4 to 5 lb.
2 large cans sauerkraut
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
Preparation -
Place the pork roast in a dutch oven or a large, deep, heavy skillet. Add about 1 cup water plus a small amount of salt and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat for about 2 hours. Add the sauerkraut, applesauce and brown sugar. Cover and simmer for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours longer or until the roast is tender and falling apart. This can also be roasted in the oven, in a covered roasting pan. Set the oven at 350º for about 2 hours, then lower temperature to around 300º after adding the sauerkraut. Roast for an additional 1-1/2 hours. It's also a good crock pot meal. Just add everything at once and cook for about 6 or 7 hours on low.
Sauerkraut that's sold in cellophane bags in the fresh meat department of a grocery store is usually not quite as salty as canned sauerkraut. You can use it instead of canned sauerkraut.
