The ingredients needed to make Braised Pork & Sauerkraut:

  2. Prepare 1 pear, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
  3. Get 1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
  4. Prepare 1/2 tsp. cumin
  5. Take 1 tsp. caraway seeds
  6. Get 5 juniper berries (optional)
  7. Get 1/3 cup dry white wine
  8. Take 3 lb. pork (shoulder or butt, bone-in)
  9. Take 3 tbs. dry rub (seasonings)
  10. Make ready 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  11. Take 1 cup gravy
Steps to make Braised Pork & Sauerkraut:
  1. Place sauerkraut in medium sized pot; add the chopped pear, onion, seasonings, and wine. Bring to a slight boil, reduce heat to low-medium, and cook for 30 minutes slightly covered.
  2. Prepare the pork (trim any fat) and cover the meat with dry rub seasonings and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour (covered).
  3. Heat up an outdoor grill (best) or a large frying pan with oil, and sear the meat on all sides on medium-high heat, for about 4 minutes a side. [This will seal in the juices of the meat while slow-cooking later in the oven]
  4. Heat oven to 325˚ F.
  5. Transfer the meat to a large pot / pan with lid (oven proof) and place the sauerkraut around all the sides of the meat. Place the rosemary on top of the meat, cover, and place in the oven to cook for 2 hours.
  6. Remove the pan lid and continue to cook for 40 minutes. This will produce a golden color atop of the kraut and will begin to solidify all the juices.
  7. When done cooking, remove the meat from the pan. Drain off the pan liquid. Shred the pork, add the pieces back to the pan with kraut, and lightly mix.
  8. Serve with mashed potatoes and cover all ingredients (lightly) with gravy.
