I am rating this a 5 star even though I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I didn't put the saurkraut in with the pork b/c #1 I didn't have room-the pork was too big LOL and #2 I have a BIL that refuses to eat pork cooked with saurkraut. I also didn't have caraway seeds so I used fennel seeds instead. I didn't shred the carrots....well b/c I didn't want to. LOL! The apples and the carrots in the dish cooked up great and were delish! The only thing I might do differently is to peel the apples b/c some people didn't like the looks of the cooked apple skin and wouldn't eat it. Very easy just a bit time consuming but nothing too strenous.

Loved this! I didn't use caraway seeds or apples because I didn't have any. My roast was much smaller so I made quantity adjustments. This was delicious and I will make this my standard "pork & sauerkraut" recipe from now on! Loved the addition of carrots which I've never seen in a pork & sauerkraut dish before.

This was really good. I am not a fan of sauerkraut, but this had a nice taste to it. I made it in the crockpot and cooked it for about 10 hours. The pork fell apart, but it was not dry. This will be our new tradition for New Years Day.
