Pork and Sauerkraut

Serve Pork & Sauerkraut on January 1st! Serve pork and sauerkraut with a large bowl of mashed potatoes.1 lean pork roast, about 4 to 5 lb.

# 1 cup water
# 1 tsp. ground black pepper
# 2 large cans sauerkraut
# 1/2 cup applesauce
# 1/4 cup brown sugar

Preparation - Place the pork roast in a Dutch oven or other large, deep, heavy pan. Add about 1 cup water and black pepper. Cover and cook over low heat for about 2 hours. Mix the sauerkraut, applesauce and brown sugar together. Pour the mixture in to the pan, over the pork roast. Cover and simmer for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours longer or until the pork is tender and falling apart.

This can also be roasted in the oven, in a covered roasting pan. Set the oven temperature to 350º and roast for about 2 hours. Add the sauerkraut and other ingredients, lower the oven temperature to about 300º, and roast for an additional 1 to 1-1/2 hours. This is also a good crockpot meal. Just add all the ingredients at once and cook on the low setting for about 7 hours.
