Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Heat bacon grease in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Arrange sauerkraut and apples in a large roasting pan. Top with cooked onions and bacon grease from the skillet.
Step 4
Mix together chicken broth, brown sugar, and mustard powder in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until sugar dissolves and broth is heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir and pour over sauerkraut mixture, mixing to combine.
Step 5
Cut several deep slits into the top of pork loin and place in the center of sauerkraut mixture. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C). Continue roasting until pork is tender and pulls apart easily, 2 to 3 hours. Remove from the oven and cool until easily handled, about 15 minutes.
Step 7
Discard pork bones, shred meat using 2 forks, and return to the pan with sauerkraut mixture. Stir well to combine.
