If you double the amount of sauerkraut, would you also double the seasonings (Carraway, black pepper, brown sugar, butter and applesauce)?

I have to have this done by noon. Can I cook on high 4 hours? Will I get the same results?

My mom always made with barley--anyone knows how much and when I can add and when? I'd be making about half this amount--and it wasn't overpowering.

Does the apple and brown sugar make this recipe sweet? I like the sourness of the sauerkraut and don't want to make it sweet.

Honestly, for me, the Pork Loin just turns out too dry after cooking for 6-8 hours. I swapped in the Pork Country Ribs last time and they were great. Even DH preferred them over the Loin. They were fall apart tender and juicy. Oh, and I do NOT "drain & rinse" the sauerkraut .. I mean that's where a LOT of the flavor comes from. a big no-no in this house. Otherwise did everything exact to the recipe. (I think that by draining & rinsing, the sugar CAN make this - as some mentioned - too sweet. Hence don't do that.)

This recipe was very easy and delicious. My husband, who never cooks, made this for the family, and everyone loved it. I would definitely make it again. He made it using pork chops and it was perfect! Thanks for posting!

This recipe was so delicious! My boyfriend raved over how good the pork was! I used cumin instead of caraway seeds because I didn't have any and did not use butter or salt. It was so moist and tender!!! I served it with mashed potatoes and rolls. This recipe will be our New Year's Day tradition from now on!

Growing up my mom would just throw some porkchops in a baking dish and throw Sauerkraut on top and bake till the meat fell off the bone. This recipe sounded like the "grown up" version. I cooked on low and at exactly 8 hours the meat was falling apart delicious! I also put some quartered potatos and onions on the bottom of the crockpot and then did the rest as recipe stated. I enjoyed, but next time i will leave off the brown sugar, it wasn't my thing. I bet without the brown sugar it will be perfect!

I didn't have apples but I had a jar of raspberries/gavenstein apple sauce which i used in place and it came out delicious. Will try the original recipe next.
