  1. Season pork generously with salt and pepper. Tie it up with kitchen twine if there are loose pieces that need to be held in. Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium high and brown the pork for about 5 minutes per side until most of it has a nice brown crust. Transfer pork to a plate.

  3. Add the sauerkraut to the pot along with half of the apple slices. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons cider syrup and season with a little salt and pepper. Place the pork on top and scatter ramaining apple slices around the pork. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of cider syrup over the pork, cover the pot and cook in the hot oven for 30 minutes.
  4. Turn the oven temp down to 325ºF and cook, covered, for 2 hours longer.
  5. To serve, transfer the pork to a cutting board and slice it. Arrange the pork slices on a platter and top with onions-apple gravy or serve the gravy on the side.
