Pork & Sauerkraut

PickyEater's Note:

My variation of a recipe I found in a February 2003 issue of the Columbus Dispatch, submitted by Mary Johnson. She's "been making it for 20 years and has never had a bad review." She serves it with mashed potatoes and warm rolls. The sauerkraut was sweet and mild. Next time I may try substituting applesauce for the brown sugar.

I made this last week and it was fantastic. I love using my crockpot because it provides me time to spend with my family rather than being in the kitchen. I get it ready in the morning and by supper time I have a wonderful meal. I also added kielbasa to the mix so that I had plenty of leftovers. Thanks for posting.

We usually like kraut, but we did not care for this. I did salvage the pork and mixed it with some bar b q sauce to make pulled pork. Sorry

I love pork and sauerkraut but this just did not work for me. In spite of cutting back on the sugar, it was just too sweet. The recipe itself worked out fine, I think it's just a matter of personal taste. Sorry.
