Pork Roast W/ Sauerkraut Excellante

Recipe #143129 | 4¾ hours | 35 min prep | add private note

This recipe was given to me from my bro-in-law. It makes the pork roast juicy and the sauerkraut is so tasty sweetened this way by the juices from the pork roast. Buy fresh sauerkraut or the kind that is packaged in plastic bags, it's much crisper than the canned type. I always get asked for the recipe.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. 2
    Rub the pork roast with salt and pepper, and put it in a large roasting pan and put in the oven, turning it to brown on all sides(approx. 20-30 minutes).
  3. 3
    Remove the roast and lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees.
  4. 4
    Scatter the sauerkraut all around the roast.
  5. 5
    In a bowl, mix together the apples, onion, sugar, mustard and caraway seeds.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle this mixture over the sauerkraut and drizzle the white wine over all.
  7. 7
    Cover and roast at 250 degees for about 4 hours or until the pork is well done yet very tender, do not let the pork dry out (if there was not too much fat on the roast you may want to moisten it with additional wine).
  8. 8
    Let the roast stand outside the oven for 10 minutes before serving.

Closest to the traditional Bavarian kraut I love! Instead of sliced apples I used applesauce and added bay leaf and juniper berries to the mix as seen in the classic german kraut.

    Great recipe many people forget the caroway seeds. My cousin in Wisconsin still harvests the wild seeds and sends me a supply. We like our pork and kraut with dumplings yum yum

    Made this tonight and the roast was very tender, but the sauerkraut was too sweet for my taste. I think next time I will decrease or cut the sugar out completely.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this simple rendition. Of course, as one normally does, I made substitutions. Having no apples, I used instead dried cranberries. I do think that pork is overcooked. I cut the time of baking down significantly.
