1 jar or package (32 oz) sauerkraut
2 medium apples, peeled, sliced
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1/4 cup apple juice or water (I also added pineapple juice)
1 boneless pork roast (2 1/2 to 3 lb), string removed, trimmed of fat
6 small red potatoes (about 18 oz), cut in half
Mustard Sauce
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Brown the pork on all sides. Remove the browned meat and add a roughly chopped onion and apples. You can add carrots too, if you like. Place sauerkraut into slow cooker. Pour 1 can of apple juice and 1 of pineapple juice over it. Place the onions and apples on top of the sauerkraut, sprinkle caraway and then add the roast on top. Cover; cook on Low setting 7 to 8 hours. In small bowl, mix sauce ingredients. Remove roast from slow cooker; place on serving platter. Cut roast into slices. Arrange potatoes around slices. With slotted spoon, remove sauerkraut mixture from slow cooker; place in serving bowl. Serve roast slices and potatoes with sauerkraut mixture and mustard sauce.
