In a saucepan combine Apple cider, salt, bay leaves, garlic, caraway and peppercorns. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup ice. Let cool.

Make the pork

Trim silver skin off pork. Place in resealable plastic bag and pour in brine. Squeeze air out and seal. Place bag in refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

Make slaw

Whisk together the Apple cider, olive oil, vinegar, caraway, mustard and salt. Add sauerkraut, bell pepper, carrot, onion and celery. Toss to coat. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.

Finish pork

Preheat oven to 425 F. Remove pork from brine and pat it dry with paper towels (discard the brine). Rub the pork with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until lightly browned. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until 145 F. Let rest 10 minutes.

Thinly slice pork and serve on top or along side the slaw.
