I'm not sure if it was the caraway seeds or the apple, but it took away the bitterness that I really love, so I pulled half of the sauerkraut from the crock and put a new batch in the pot halfway through the cook time. At that point that pork tenderloin was just falling apart. can't wait to enjoy this! -
This was simply delicious, we really enjoyed it. Our sauerkraut burned a little on the edge due to a lack of liquid but the majority of it was great. We added apple which added a nice sweetness and I'd add more next time. I served with boiled buttered carrots. Yum! -
We had this for new years. Great recipe, I used 1/4 cup of the caraway seeds and subbed applesauce for the green apple. I also added hot dogs for the last 15 minutes. -
Delicious -- even my sauerkraut hating husband loved it cooked this way. I included the apple and served this with sourdough bread. We will be having this again. Thanks again for posting this keeper. -
Very simple and tasty! Made it as the recipe called but added a little water to make sure was OK overnight. The pork was moist and tender! I added a little brown sugar at the end to take away the tartness of the sauerkraut and it got rave reviews! Great recipe!

I'm a single mom of an 11 year old boy. I work full-time and love to cook. My son (and his friends)love to eat my cooking. Mostly we eat seafood because we love it and it's quick to cook. I love fishing (of course) biking, hiking, gardening and reading. We have a cat, Hooligan; and yes, there is a good reason for that name.
