Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Roughly chop onions, carrots and celery. Put in pot with parsley, juniper berries, peppercorns and bay leaf.

* Step 2

Add wine and vinegar to pot. Bring to a boil, turn heat to low and cover with lid. Simmer for 5 minutes.

* Step 3

Let the marinade cool completely before using with meat.

* Step 4

After the marinade cools, put the pork and marinade in a container so the pork is fully submerged.

* Step 5

Marinate for 5-6 days and in the fridge. Turn the pork every day or two to ensure it's evenly soaked.

* Step 6

Remove meat from marinade and dry off with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

* Step 7

Melt butter or heat oil on high in a heavy pot. Brown meat on all sides.

* Step 8

Pour in the marinade liquid along with the veggies and spices.

* Step 9

Bring to boil, then turn to low heat. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

* Step 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.

* Step 11

To make the sauce: Melt butter and add 1 tbsp butter in a separate sauce pan. Mix together and sauté until golden in color.

* Step 12

Add 1 cup of the cooking to the flour and butter mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often until reduced into a smooth sauce.

* Step 13

Here is my sauce after reducing.

* Step 14

Pour the finished sauce back into the pot. Cook for an additional 15 minutes on low heat. Add salt & pepper to taste.

* Step 15

Slice the pork on a plate and keep the sauce aside for pouring on top when serving.

* Step 16

Serve with spätzle (I have a recipe in my profile if you want), potato dumplings (kartoffelknödel) or bread dumplings (semmelknödel - I have a recipe for this too). Pour sauce over to taste. Also often served with red cabbage.
