What comes around goes around...

Aunt Carol has a good pork chop recipe (using a slow cooker); I’ve made it half a dozen times myself. Pork chops or cutlets, a tomato base (I use V-8 juice and ¼ part water), sour kraut (1 can; drain well), and quartered potatoes (or whole if they are small – red potatoes work well), some chopped spring onions and/or parsley for color. You could add tomato paste for a little zest and to thicken the juices. Let the whole thing cook on low for about 6 hours. -- Lorie
