Pork and Sauerkraut
Traditionally served as the first meal on New Year's Day to bring good luck for the year. 1 (4- to 5-pound) lean pork roast 2 large cans or a fresh pack of sauerkraut 1/2 cup applesauce 1/4 cup brown sugar 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 350 degrees F for about 2 hours, then lower temperature to around 300 degrees F after adding the sauerkraut. Roast for an additional 1 1/2 hours. To cook in a crock pot, add everything at once and cook for about 6 or 7 hours on LOW. Serve Pork and Sauerkraut with a large bowl of mashed potatoes. Enjoy.
