RIBS AND SAUERKRAUT RECIPE

Sauerkraut  & onions join the classic apple-and-pork combo for a sweet-salty sensation.  This is a great tasting recipe for your crock pot.  

COOK:  Low 6 hours, High 3 hours.  6-8 servings.  

INGREDIENTS:  1  14-oz can sauerkraut, drained;  1 large sweet onion, sliced (about 2 cups);  2 medium tart cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced (2 cups);  2 lbs. boneless pork country-style ribs;  1 cup apple juice.  (I had no apple juice so I used a cup of white wine and it was good.)  

PROCEDURE:  In a 4 or 4-1/2 quart slow cooker place kraut, onion and apples.  Top with ribs.  Pour apple juice or wine over all.  Cover and cook.  Serve with a slotted spoon.  ENJOY!  We did.   P.S.  I used ribs on the bone and they were good.  In fact, I have heard that cooking meat on the bone is more flavorful.
