Pork Sauerbraten (Swabian Style) instructions

1. Roughly chop onions, carrots and celery. Put in pot with parsley, juniper berries, peppercorns and bay leaf..
2. Add wine and vinegar to pot. Bring to a boil, turn heat to low and cover with lid. Simmer for 5 minutes..
3. Let the marinade cool completely before using with meat..
4. After the marinade cools, put the pork and marinade in a container so the pork is fully submerged..
5. Marinate for 5-6 days and in the fridge. Turn the pork every day or two to ensure it's evenly soaked..

10. After 45-60 minutes, remove the pork to a plate. Strain the vegetables and spices out of the cooking liquid (Keep the liquid! You can toss out the veggies). Set aside 1 cup of the cooking liquid for making the sauce. Return the rest of the cooking liquid and pork to pot for now..
