New Year's Pork and Sauerkraut image

While my mother made this several times a year it was always made on New Year's. She served it with mashed potatoes, peas or Hoppin' John (she was from Savannah, GA and had to have her black-eyed peas for New Year's). I vary the amount of brown sugar used by whether my daughter is home for dinner (Simi likes everything sweet). Normally I go for a balanced sweet/sour taste. This works well in either the oven or crock-pot. The leftover sauerkraut is great served with hot dogs.

Categories     Pork

Time 3h15m

Yield 1 roast, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lbs pork roast (chops or ribs can be used too)
16 ounces sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1 onion, chopped
1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped (divided)
1/2-1 cup brown sugar (to taste)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Combine sauerkraut, onion, half the garlic, apples, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Lay in bottom of either 9x13 pan or crock-pot. I usually spray the pan or use an oven bag or crock-pot liner to make cleanup easy.
  • Make a well in the middle of the sauerkraut and place roast in pan. Season roast with salt and pepper. Sprinkle roast with other half of garlic and I like to sprinkle a little of the brown sugar on top too.
  • Bake covered in 350 oven for about 3 hours or in crock-pot on low for 8 hours. If making in the oven, remove cover last half hour or just broil for a few minutes to brown.

This recipe was a disaster! The pork was tough and the sauerkraut was sour. I don't know what I did wrong, but I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pork turned out a bit dry. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'll try again with a different cut of meat next time.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The pork was tender and flavorful, but the sauerkraut was a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some caraway seeds next time.

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The pork was cooked well, but the sauerkraut could have been a bit more tender.
