Pork Loin, Apples, and Sauerkraut

Pork and sauerkraut is the traditional New Year’s Day meal here in Pennsylvania Dutch Land. This is my rendition of that holiday meal. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes and applesauce.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step: 2

Mix sauerkraut, apples, onion, and caraway seeds in a large roasting pan. Stir 1/4 cup apple cider and brown sugar together in a separate bowl; pour over sauerkraut mixture.

Step: 3

Stir Thai seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a small bowl; rub onto the top and bottom of the roast.

Step: 4

Make an indentation in the center of the sauerkraut mixture and place the seasoned roast in the indentation. Pour the remaining apple cider around the roast.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour; baste roast with juices. Continue baking roast, basting every 30 minutes, until cooked through, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
