Just add all the ingredients at once and cook on the low setting for about 7 hours.

• When the pork is finished cooking, remove the roast from the pot and strain the juices into a saucepan. If you don't have 2 cups of liquid then add enough liquid to make 2 cups (you can use chicken broth, beer, apple cider, wine, or water).
• Mash the butter and flour together in a small dish until it is a thick paste.
• Heat the juices over medium-high heat and whisk in the flour paste. Stir while simmering until thick.

• Remove the roast and lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees.
• Scatter the sauerkraut all around the roast.
• In a bowl, mix together the apples, onion, sugar, mustard and caraway seeds.
• Sprinkle this mixture over the sauerkraut and drizzle the white wine over all.
• Cover and roast at 250 degees for about 4 hours or until the pork is well done yet very tender, do not let the pork dry out (if there was not too much fat on the roast you may want to moisten it with additional wine).
• Let the roast stand outside the oven for 10 minutes before serving.

ROAST PORK WITH SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Place pork roast in 13x9" roasting pan. Cut onion into wedges and tuck around roast in bottom of pan, and a few across the top. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt and pepper over roast. Bake @ 400 degrees for the first hour and then reduce heat to 350 degrees until done. (Note: You want the onions to caramelize so the juices are a nice dark brown when the roast is finished cooking. Adding 1/4 cup of water after the first hour helps attain this for you. These juices are for the sauerkraut & dumplings and the darker, the better!)
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, measure 4 cups of flour. Make a well in the center of the flour and break the 4 eggs into the well. Begin stirring the eggs and drawing the flour into the egg as you stir. Gradually add the 2 cups of water. Sometimes it doesn't need quite the 2 cups... Stop adding water then the dough is fairly firm but sticky.
• 3. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in large pot. Using a soup spoon, scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the boiling water. Reduce the heat a tad and boil for 10 minutes. Watch the pot... this will foam up and start to spill over if not watched!
• 4. Drain the dumplings and return them to the pot. Add the 2 cans of sauerkraut to the dumplings and simmer on low until the roast is ready to come out of the oven.
• 5. The last and most important step... put the pork drippings and cooked onion into the sauerkraut & dumplings. This adds amazing flavor and the sauerkraut is a nice golden brown.
• 6. We always have this with applesauce on the side. Makes it complete!

PORK LOIN, SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• For the pork loin, pressure cooker method:
• In a pressure cooker set on high heat, brown the pork in the oil on all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add about 6 cups water or broth so there is about 1 1/2 inches. For larger roasts, add 1/2-inch more liquid per pound. Pressure cook until the pork is extremely tender and falling apart, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (This is important to the dish.) Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the juices.
• For the pork loin, oven method:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pierce the pork with a knife and insert the slices of garlic different parts of the roast. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy cast iron pot over high heat. Sear the pork until brown. Add the beef broth and vermouth (this will also deglaze the pan) and cover the pot with a lid. Bake, basting frequently with the pan juices, until the pork is pink and juicy inside but not dry and gray, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Be sure to periodically check your roast, as you want the roast to be pink and juicy inside, not dry and gray. Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the juices.
• Combine the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the pan juices to thicken the juices so they will stick to the pork and dumplings. (However, Grandma and Grandpa preferred the traditional thinner juice.)
• For the potato dumplings:
• While the meat is cooking, prepare the dumplings. Place a pot of water to boil.
• Place the potato flakes in a large bowl. Place the milk, butter and 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Pour the potato mixture over the potato flakes and whip with a fork until smooth. Let cool.
• Add the eggs to the potatoes and mix well. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until a dough forms, adding more flour if needed.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured bread board and knead in more flour until the dough is stiff and doesn't stick to your hands. Break off small pieces and form into flat balls, drop into rapidly boiling water. Bring back to a boil and cook 10 to 15 minutes. Cut 1 and if it isn't sticky inside, they are done.
• For the sauerkraut:
• Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pot. Add the onion and cook until transparent. Add the sauerkraut, vermouth, beef bouillon to taste, caraway seeds to taste, salt (not much) and pepper. Simmer until the flavors meld, 30 to 45 minutes. Serve along side the pork.
• For serving:
• This was usually done homestyle. Place some pork, a dumpling (cut into hearty, bit-size pieces) and some sauerkraut on a plate. Then pass and spoon or drizzle some of the reserved meat juices over the pork and dumplings--this ties everything all together and gives you a forkful of flavor in each bite.
• There you have it: hearty, stick-to-your-ribs pork, dumplings and sauerkraut--an excellent dish on a cold, frosty night!
