TOPIC SHOULD READ :
HOW DO YOU PREPARE YOU NEW YEARS DAY PORK!
Really, I dont even drink!!!!!
We love pork and sauerkraut! I alway purchase the old fashioned spare ribs, cut them in peices and brown them on the stove top. I then drain and rinse my kraut and mix it with thin sliced apples and brown sugar, the ribs and kraut mixture is layered in the crock pot and left to cook. The apples more or less disolve in the cooking process. I usally serve them with fried apples and some sort of potatoes–depends on the amount of time spent watching football, scalloped is always good, they cant wait until "dinner is served". 
What ever you do today, have a wondeful New Years Day.

Ham here today, baked. Have a 10+lb. boneless Tavern ham in the frig.
Thinking a big skillet full of fried cabbage too. Simple, but getting the traditional pork and cabbage covered.
Happy New Year!

I have a nice sized bone in loin roast in my dutch oven now, I'll put in some potatoes and carrots in then after a bit, some wedges of cabbage in to roast as well.
We often do kielbasi and sauerkraut, but I didn't get any kraut in time, and being incredibly Polish, we consider kielbasi a necessity so we have it pretty often and a local store had whole pork loins on sale so this is the choice for today!

Country style ribs are seared in the cast-iron chicken fryer. Small potatoes are added along with some white wine. The cover is put on and simmered until the pork is almost done, then add well drained kraut and heated through. Batch of black-eyed peas put on in the morning with chunks of ham. Great way to start the New Year.

Italian marinated pork tenderloin this year. Blackeyed peas & bacon, good crusty bread hot because I just made some butter this morning. Some salad greens and for dessert I broke out the ice cream maker because I am dreaming of spring and I have raspberries from my garden in the freezer so I made ice cream with farm fresh milk.

We don't have a traditional meat, but black eyed peas (and cornbread) are a must. Saying that, we did have pork tenderloin today; rubbed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smeared with olive oil and seared in a hot skillet. Then, finished roasting in a 400F oven until done.

Our pork was baked ham left over from Christmas dinner.
There were only two of us last night for supper, so, I cooked a package of purple hull peas in the slow cooker, with about a pound of leftover ham chunks, with a coarsely chopped onion, salt, pepper, and finely chopped jalapeno. YUM. Purple hull peas are so much better than blackeyed peas.
When I do cornbread, I do it as muffins and put the extras in the freezer, so that was just like fresh cornbread when heated in the microwave. Peas, ham, some extra slices of onion, a hot cornbread muffin… it was so nice, it was actually pretty.
It may sound skimpy, but it was a very filling meal. We finished off the last two slices of home made apple pie, made with home canned apples. Oh, and I cheated and made slice and bake chocolate chip cookies.
It is so nice to be able to share with people who have similar interests. Happy New Year to all!

One more thing… reading about saurkraut made me remember our years in Germany. The easiest recipe of all if to use a 5 quart pot, put about 12-18 freshly washed new potatoes in the bottom, put a layer on onions or leeks to cover the potatoes, put 2 large cans of German style kraut on top of that, and then take browned but not completely cooked porkchops and just poke them into the kraut, anywhere from 6 to 10 chops, pointed ends down.
Don't add water or anything else, there is enough in the kraut. Cook on low heat for about two – three hours. These days, it would be good in the crockpot, of course. You really need good crusty German brotchen with this. When ready to serve, pull out the chops, lift out the kraut, and put the potatoes in a bowl with pepper, butter and sour cream, and cover that to keep it warm. Yes, I gained weight living there!!

Farm Granny….I agree… purple hull peas are soooo much better tasting than blackeyed peas.

I always get a pork loin, and put it right in the crock pot with sauerkraut. Yesterday I started it about 9:30 am and by 4:30 it was done-so tender it was like pulled pork. Just delicious and so simple! My parents and B-I-L loved it. My kids, who are vegan and vegetarian (!!!!) just ate everything else, so everyone was happy.

Miss Judy, the deer ate all the vegs outside the garden fence this year, so we had to buy peas, but it was worth it. Several bushels shelled down to about 15 quart bags, besides what we gave away. It was easier than trying to keep deer away and picking myself, so that may be what we do from now on.
I did two pork loins for a holiday dinner (between Tday and Christmas), and that was lovely and is so easy.
