Today I’m sharing a classic New Year’s Day dish—Pork & Sauerkraut! Some say that because pigs “root forward,” the pork represents moving forward into the new year. Additionally the sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) represents increased wealth due to its green color. Whether or not you believe the superstition, this easy, flavorful, crockpot Pork & Sauerkraut is absolutely worth making. Happy New Year!
Thank you to Logan Family Farms for gifting me the Boneless Pork Pot Roast that I prepared in today’s video. For more information about their delicious Dry Aged Beef and Berkshire Pork products, visit their website linked below.
LOGAN FAMILY FARMS:
Pork & Sauerkraut
3 lb. boneless pork pot roast (or pork shoulder)
2 lb. bag of sauerkraut
2 gala apples
1 large sweet onion
salt, pepper, garlic powder
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
Peel and dice the apples. Peel and thinly slice the sweet onion. Spray the inside of a slow cooker with baking spray to prevent sticking. Place the pork pot roast inside the slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Pour the sauerkraut and its liquid all over the surface of the pot roast. Place the onions and apples evenly over the sauerkraut. Sprinkle the brown sugar over top. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours. Use two forks to shred the meat and mix everything together. Serve by itself, on sandwich buns, over mashed potatoes or egg noodles. ENJOY!

Looks Amazing! Happy New Year!👍❤️
Hello Anne!! I make sauerkraut the same way!! This year I tried Apple Castle's cabbage (they make it there), omg so good! You need to have MaryLynn send you some!!
I almost added the Caraway seeds this year! I know I would like the flavor. I learned my family is all about tradition!! Moving forward, this is the recipe I'll use. Thanks Anne✅
Pork roast, kraut, caraway seed and a 12 oz beer. Cook low and slow in the oven. 😋
Missed it this year. Grew up in Lancaster county so I am very familiar with it.
People from Pennsyltucky never brown the meat first for some reason
Thank you so much for helping a single dad to learn to make this for new years!
Wow….this really grabs me. I've got a bone in shoulder roast I'm sure I can make work. Thank you for sharing . You are such a bright happy person. I really enjoy your videos.
God bless all here.
Using this recipe but with homemade sauerkraut given to me in a jar. The jar doesn’t have any sauerkraut juice in it so I suppose I will add 1 cup of water. Not sure if I should do less or more than that.
Any suggestive help would be appreciated.
My mom always put caraway seeds in hers. Looks so yummy 😋
She's way too excited.
Omg apples n brown sugar n onions WOW deff. A make!!
Need to boil some bow tie pasta and then fry them in oil and butter and pile this on top. Looks Amazing 😻
I've never heard of it being served over noodles, but hey…w/ever works! 🙂
Yes…the only thing missing is heaping that on top of some buttery potatoes!
<thumb up>
U can buy that at any store with that amount of fat it will come out just as tender just ask your local butcher
Try cooking it in the oven with potatoes and a bit of Carraway seeds. Grandma used to make it that way. Dont forget to get a fatcap. It gets all crispy.
Cool video. Great choice of music. Can I use applesauce instead of Gala apples?
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I prepared it for my family for New Years Day. It was a hit!!
Ask your mother-in-law about Ham pot-pie note it is nothing like those frozen chicken pot pies from the market its another Pa Dish mostly had after a big ham dinner
I know people like this but it stinks up the house sooooo bad. Not worth it sorry
The pork looks so tender and flavorful! I didn't really like sauerkraut or other pickled foods growing up too, but I really developed a taste for it later on, and turns out its really good for you! Happy New Year! Hope you and your family have a great 2020! Looks like you are already off to a great start with this delicious pork meal!
try adding some Caraway seeds next time also…brings in a great flavor as well. PA native here
Looks delicious! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Yum! I like the addition of the apples. We always have this on New Years day as well, to bring good luck to the New Year!
Happy New Year!
Love the videos! Being from "Pennsylvania Dutch country" (York, Pa.), our family tradition also always is to have knepp with our pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day. (Knepp are basically big dough balls cooked on top of the sauerkraut, — but SO good with the sauerkraut and sauerkraut "broth". )
Looks delicious! We always serve pork and kraut for New Years! We lived in PA years ago and everyone in my family made a version from kielbasa, pork loin, chops. Can’t wait to try yours!
I’ve never heard of this! Looks good
Hello Anne, Happy New Year to you and your Family!!! What a delicious Meal!!!
Yum! This sounds and looks delicious!
