    2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 lb pork shoulder, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp caraway seeds, salt and pepper

Sauerkraut Mixture

  • Add the diced onion and sliced apples to the skillet; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Add the drained sauerkraut, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and honey to the slow cooker; stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours. Remove the pork and shred with two forks; stir the meat back into the sauerkraut before serving.

Notes

Cool leftovers to room temperature within 2 hours, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
Rinsing sauerkraut under cold water can tame excess acidity if desired.
