• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (15 ounce) can sauerkraut
• 1⁄2 cup applesauce
• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar

directions

1. Preparation -.
2. 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.
3. 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.

This was delicious! We cooked the roast in the oven and it was very tender. The Sauerkraut was just right, a little sweet but still had a little bite to it. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
