Apple Cider Pork Roast with Sauerkraut & Apples image

This pork roast is delicious, a little sweet and savory at the same time. I served it with my homemade applesauce.

Provided by Michelle Antonacci

Categories     Roasts

Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lb pork roast
2 c sauerkraut, rinced
1 1/2 c dried apple slices
1 c fresh apple cider
3 sprig(s) lemon thyme
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Season your roast with salt and pepper, place your pork roast in your crockpot and mix the sauerkraut and dried apple slices and place around the roast, pour the cider over and add lemon thyme sprigs.
  • 2. Cook on low for approx 6 hours or until meat is tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: A pork shoulder or pork butt is the best cut of meat for this recipe. It is a tough cut but will become tender and juicy when slow-cooked.
  • Sear the pork before roasting: Searing the pork before roasting helps to develop flavor. You can do this in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: The apple cider in this recipe helps to tenderize the pork and add flavor. You can also use other liquids, such as chicken broth, beef broth, or white wine.
  • Add vegetables to the roasting pan: Adding vegetables to the roasting pan helps to create a flavorful sauce. You can use any type of vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, or potatoes.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This usually takes about 3 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the roast.

Conclusion:

Apple cider pork roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the apple cider sauce is flavorful and tangy. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover apple cider, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
