BEFORE COOKING:

Before cooking, rinse the pork thoroughly.

COOKING:

Pork is typically not used for broth, so the meat is placed into boiling water. Cook the pieces of pork for 1.5–2 hours on low heat. If necessary, add water to keep the meat covered at all times; do not replace the water. Forty minutes before the end of cooking, add cleaned vegetables and salt. You may also add spices, e.g., juniper, pepper, bay leaf, cloves. After skimming off the foam, continue cooking covered. The meat is done when a knife or fork slides in effortlessly.

AFTER COOKING:

Remove the cooked pork from the broth and slice it across the grain.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Serve with brown sauce, horseradish, or cranberry.

Enjoy your meal!
