- 3 3 lbs boneless country-style ribs or 3 lbs pork loin chops, 3/4-inch Thick
- 2 tablespoons bacon fat, Rendered (I keep a can in my fridge)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 3 yams, approximately 1 1/2 pounds, peeled and cut into 2-inch thick slices
- 3 Red Delicious apples (Use apples that hold their shape when cooked) or 3 rome apples, peeled, cored, and cut cross-wise into three rings (Use apples that hold their shape when cooked)
- 1/2 cup cider or 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, Packed
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon caraway seed
- 2 lbs sauerkraut, drained, not rinsed, squeezed dry
Method
- Heat bacon fat in large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper, and brown for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place sliced yams in bottom of crockpot.
- Set crockpot on low.
- Layer the pork, including any pan drippings, and apples on top of the yams.
- In a small bowl, combine cider or apple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and caraway seeds; mix well and pour over the pork and apples evenly.
- Top with the sauerkraut. It's a tight fit, but my 5-quart crockpot lid does close.
- Cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.
- Remove the lid and serve the pork with the sweet potatoes, apples and sauerkraut, spooning sauce over everything.
