Pork And Sauerkraut Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Possumqueen / All my dishes 7 months, 3 weeks ago This is off the top of my head - I haven't an actual written recipe for it - just years of making it. This has been one of our New Year food traditions for as long as I can remember. It's also a year-round comfort food. Prep:15m Cook:120m Servings:8	Possumqueen

Ingredients

1 pork butt - about 5# - don't trim the fat (I usually buy one with a little fat - if it has too much you can trim it a little)

1 large jars/packs (32 oz) of Silver Floss (or your fav) sauerkraut

2 - 4 cups water

Coarsely Ground Fresh Cracked Pepper - to taste (this is a must have or at least the the coarse ground pepper you can buy - none of that fine ground stuff)

Salt - to taste

Directions

Rinse pork and pat dry

Season pork on all sides with season salt and coarse ground fresh cracked pepper

Place fat side down in hot pot and sear for 5 minutes to render fat - then sear on each side for 5 minutes each

Add water then sauerkraut

Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer

Cook (simmer) until meat is tender and has fallen apart - about 2 hours or so

Keep an eye on the juice level - if it cooks out add more water - about a cup or two more should do it - you want it to be juicy but not watery

Taste - reseason if necessary

Pick out any pieces of fat

Serve

I like t serve with a warm crusty bread with cold real salted butter - Yummy!

This can also be made in the crockpot or in the oven.
