James's Apple Kraut Smoked Chops

 

4 8 ounce center cut lean smoked pork chops
1 6 ounce package sauerkraut
8 ounces thinly sliced granny smith apples
8 ounces thinly sliced bermuda onions
pinch each: thyme, oregano, majoram, cracked black pepper, caraway seeds
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
4 fluid ounces chicken broth
4 fluid ounces apple juice
4 fluid ounces Gewurztraminer or other sweet wine

Saute apples and onions in butter until golden brown. Add fresh herbs, mustard and liquid ingredients. Be sure to first rinse & strain sauerkraut. Add to mixture. Simmer on low heat while stirring occasionally approximately 30 minutes. If necessary, replace evaporated fluids with little water. About 4 minutes before serving, place pork chops on top of kraut and cover. Allow to simmer. Serve with mashed potatoes

One never realizes how much and how little he knows until he starts talking.
