I'll be checking on this! My wife, though Pittsburgh Italian, remembers her grandmother making something similar on New Years. We have most of a 7 1/2# shoulder left over from yesterday and she is planning something with krout to go with it today.
I may have to pop out for apples....

3-4 pound Pork Loin or boneless pork butt
2 pounds (one sack silver floss with juice) Better if you have authentic German krout
1 teaspoon Caraway Seeds (optional but recommended)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 medium Granny Smith Apple(cored, peeled, and chopped
¼ cup Butter
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper

Instructions
Add pork loin/butt to a 6 quart slow cooker and top with sauerkraut, caraway seeds, brown sugar, chopped apple, butter, salt, and pepper.
Turn slow cooker on low and cook for 6 hours, or until pork loin is tender but not yet falling apart.
Cut the pork loin/butt into individual serving sizes and serve topped with sauerkraut and cooking juices.

Small taters or mashed go great with this.

Have a pork tenderloin on the grill right now with Meat Church’s Honey Hog BBQ rub, sauerkraut with brown sugar on the stove, and mashed potatoes already done.

That sounds like a great recipe. I've had a few plates of Pork and Kraut at assorted Lancaster County Restaurants, that made it way too Sweet. Try making Pork and Sauerkraut with a Rack of Ribs, cut in pairs. The high collagen increases the Lip Smackin' goodness to a new level...JJ

We used to have it with pork neck bones and whole peeled potatoes .
