Recipe Pork and Sauerkraut with Dumplings Amish Recipes

Put the pork in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Cover with the water and add the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer about 2 hours until tender. Remove the pork and take the meat from the bone. Cut the meat in bite-size pieces and return to the liquid, together with the sauerkraut. Bring the liquid to a simmer. Drop the dumpling dough into the simmering liquid by table spoons. Immediately cover and simmer for 12 minutes, without lifting the lid. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside, while pouring the pork and sauerkraut into a deep platter or large serving dish. Arrange the dumplings on top, and serve at once.
