Pork and Sauerkraut - Crock Pot Style

I had some lean, boneless pork chops on hand and had a craving for sauerkraut, but without any apples (which I usually cook with). I threw all these ingredients together and had a pleasant surprise for supper. Served this concoction over boiled potatoes....and, me being me, I added a dollop of sour cream on top....thought I was in heaven. I don't think that there is another identical recipe on the Zaar.....could add caraway seeds, but DH doesn't like them, so I don't use them, but would change the taste
