Let's Get Started

- Add the sauerkraut, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Return the pork shoulder to the pot, nestling it into the sauerkraut mixture.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Remove the pot from the oven and let the pork rest for a few minutes.
- Shred the pork using two forks.
- Serve the pork and sauerkraut hot, with some of the cooking liquid spooned over the top.
