Pork with Apricots, Dried Plums, and Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut balances the sweetness of the apricot preserves and orange juice. Slow cooking tenderizes the pork and dried fruit.

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (10-ounce) package refrigerated sauerkraut

Preparation

  1. Place pork in an electric slow cooker.
  2. Combine onion and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; pour sauerkraut mixture over pork.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours.
  4. Remove pork from slow cooker.
  5. Let stand 10 minutes.
  6. Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  7. Serve sliced pork with sauerkraut mixture.
