Pork Sauerbraten in Apple Wine

Sauerbraten is an ancient dish typically associated with Catholic regions of the Rhineland. In the distant past, old wine, i.e., vinegar, was used to preserve meat butchered throughout the week so that it could be sold for Sunday Roast at a reasonable price. Though most modern recipes use beef, pork was once the more common ingredient. This recipe replaces the traditional red wine with Apple Wine, a dry wine made from apples instead of grapes.
