Dull and boring. Plebeian at best Let us fix this up so it could be served to a real German and not be embarrassed. First brown the pork on all sides. Remove the browned meat and add a roughly chopped onion, two large green apples sliced thickly, a couple of carrots cut in thirds. Sweat the onions then add the apples and carrots. This gives a quick start because everything is going into the crock pot warm. Make a bed of the sauerkraut. Pour over 1 can of apple juice and 1 of pineapple juice. place the vegies on-top the kraut and then add the roast on top. Make certain there is fresh pepper on the top...no salt...plenty in the washed kraut. A sprinkling of dried dill. Add the potatoes the last two hours at most otherwise you have potato mush. Cook for one hour on high and then on low 6 hours. I usually do it for 6 on high but then I am around to keep an eye on it. Make sure you have a grainy mustard to serve with this dinner along with fresh sourdough rye bread and unsalted butter. Serve with a Gewertstraumer wine or a light beer or other choice. A light lemon finish is nice such as a light lemon cake. Enjoy

I had high hopes for this, but I was disappointed. The pork was very dry. I cooked it for 7 hours and set the crock pot to warm for the final hour. The pork shredded when I cut it. The apples were overpowered by the sauerkraut. Let me add that I forgot to make the sauce, but I don't think it would have made a tremendous difference. The pork was very bland (I did season it with salt and pepper before putting the mustard on top). I'll try a different pork recipe next time.

This is a 5 min. put together dinner in the slow cooker. I did not have a large slow cooker so I used my small one and downsize the amounts used. When I started to put the meal together I thought I had everything in the house but I didn't have an apple or carraway seeds but I went ahead and started everything and went to the store later, 4 hr., and then added them, My husband and I really enjoyed this meal. It was a new adventure into German flavor. I also made cheesey biscuits to go with the meal.
