This is beautiful and looks delicious. Better than my chicken cheesesteak. Thank you for sharing.

Ever since I moved from PA I haven't seen anyone eat pork and sauerkraut. I was eating this weekly for dinner growing up and leftovers were used for sandwiches the next day.

I don’t think that I’ve ever had spiced cider with that meal. Hmmm I don’t really like pork like that anymore but I may have to try this. Which cider did you use? I like Browns cider.

Decent! Definitely check out local pierogies if you aren't already making them yourself. Pierogies Plus is our family favorite. If you're not close to Mckees rocks you can order them online or a decent number of grocers and markets carry them. This is seriously one of my favorite meals, brings back memories of Sunday dinner at grams. Well done!

Idk I think it was Kauffmans. I used about 2 pints, some chopped ginger, orange zest, and cinnamon, then put in a cup of whiskey. Brought it to a rolling boil then let it simmer for about 10 minutes and drank up

Cider instead of apple sauce, brilliant! I'm gonna do this soon!

That takes me back! Everytime we went back up to PA to visit my grandparents we had this (minus the cider) at least once.

Now if only you had Gobs for dessert!!

This looks delicious, I'm mad at myself cause I just had pork chops just the other day with mash potatoes and forgot about the sauerkraut. But I know what I am going to plan for next week.

At first I read this and figured you were royalty, lucky enough to enjoy that because of your haughty station. Then I realized you’re just in PA, baby!

In a similar vein I just made a big pot of ham (smoked pork butt) and cabbage. Also includes carrots, potatoes, apples and onions. It’s made nice and tangy with a healthy addition of apple cider vinegar. Old PA Dutch recipe handed down in my family.

Hot Mulled cider is truly amazing.

After working outside PA, I was shocked to learn how many people think this is a weird meal! And our New Years Dinners traditions are unique to around here too :) kinda cool that we have our own little PA culture

What spices did you use in your cider?

Where's the pumpkin spice? Everyone knows (dunkin told us) that fall isn't official until all our hot beverages taste of this weird chemical combination.

I have leftover pork and sauerkraut in my fridge right now. We already ate all the potatoes.

Cook up some noodles and add them to the leftovers to extend them and create a new meal.. ( kluski noodles work particularly well for this. Bow ties are also good for this, but personal preference etc..

I had said in a reply to another comment, but i used cinnamon, chopped ginger, and orange zest. I don't have a spice bag but I put them all in a coffee filter and let that steep in the cider for a few minutes. I like doing it this way so then you dont have to strain the cider.

Nice, I should add orange peel to my recipe. I use cloves, star anise, allspice and cinnamon. I add a shot of rum when I serve. Thanks for taking the time to reply again. I didn't see your recipe when I looked.

It’s pretty straightforward. Usually people make it with kielbasa but I had some nice pork chops on hand. Seasoned them with pepper, garlic, dill and thyme. Then once they were just about done put in the sauerkraut with a little water, let them cook low and slow. Then made mashed potatoes separate but there’s nothing wrong with instant. My mom would add peeled apples to the sauerkraut as they cooked since they add a nice flavor.
