Notes

My notes:

Liquids: I felt this recipe needed some liquid, so, I've used apple cider. I suppose apple juice could be used instead. Also, bullion and water. A combination of apple juice/cider and bullion and water is what I use. Whatever you choose to use, use enough liquid to cover the rest of the ingredients.
Add ins: potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, onions.
Pork: I use about a pound and a half of boneless spare ribs and it will make enough for a meal for three people with some leftovers for the blond for lunch the next day. Unless we are really being pigs. When it's almost time to serve, I pull out the ribs and "tear" apart the meat, kind of like pulled pork, and put it back into the crock pot.
Apples: Use a couple!
Sauerkraut: If cooking less meat, use less sauerkraut appropriately.
Salt: Not necessary.
Butter: Not necessary.
