Pork roast with apples and sauerkraut is the traditional New Year's Day meal here in the land of the Pennsylvania Dutch. This is my rendition of that holiday meal. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes and applesauce.
Ingredients
- 3 packages sauerkraut , 32 ounce
- 2 Grannys Smith apples , sliced
- 0.5 large onion , coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
- 1 cup apple cider , or more to taste, divided
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
2
Make the apples and sauerkraut: 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.
-
3
Make the pork: Stir Thai seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a small bowl. Rub seasoning mixture all over the top and bottom of the roast.

4
Make an indentation in the center of the sauerkraut mixture and place seasoned roast into the indentation. Pour remaining 1/4 cup apple cider around roast.

5
Bake in the preheated oven, basting with the roast's juices after the first hour and then every 30 minutes, until cooked through, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Add more apple cider if the roast becomes too dry. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Mom's New Years Pigs Feet
This pigs feet recipe has been passed down over time in my family. These delicious "trotters" are a relatively inexpensive African-American dish we made every New Year's Eve to ring in the new year. They're even better the next day, and they freeze well. Sprinkle them with a little more vinegar or hot sauce to taste and serve with homemade potato salad, Southern-style greens, candied yams, and cornbread.
Authentic Chicken Empanadas (Empanadas de Pollo)
My husband and I returned recently from a wonderful trip to Puerto Rico. While there we fell in love with "empanadas de pollo" (chicken pies), that we found at roadside stands along Route 3. Here is a version we came up with once we returned--delicious!
