My husband and I picked this recipe up at Octoberfest in Wisconsin 15 years ago. His dad was known for his roast and my husband was looking for one to call his own. He made it for Christmas that year along with a turkey when I refused to eat the roast because I am not a fan of red meat and can't stand kraut. The fragrant smell while cooking made me want to taste it. I ditched the turkey and this has been our Christmas tradition ever since. All who sit at our holiday table rave and ask for the recipe. It's a MUST try even if you don't like kraut!
