YUM roast was tender, flavorful, the apples gave it a touch of sweetness, the bacon masked the kraut smell. All in all easy and delicious.

This is one of the easiest and most successful pork roast recipes ever. Flavorful, zesty and a beautiful blend of ingredients. My guest were all impressed and they all are excellent cooks. The bacon is the unusual highlight. Great recipe.

Three jars of sauerkraut was just about right. Needed to double the bacon and used 3 granny smith apples. Added some (maybe 1/4 cup) brown sugar, too. Of all these recipes, doesn't anybody use dumplings on top? We have always had pork, sauerkraut, and dumplings. Also, my dad always added caraway seed, which I have not seen mentioned in any of these recipes. Perhaps because we are German and the regions for the other recipes seem to be more Amish are? Regardless, I agree that I love the more sauerkraut (3 jars insted of one)!! This is a must for New Year's Day.
