I have used this exact recipe using a pork loin roast and on another occasion, a whole, boneless turkey breast.
Brined Pork And Sauerkraut
To cook this roast you will want to place the roast in the slow cooker with the skin side up.

Spread sauerkraut, onion slices, brown sugar, fennel seeds, and coriander over pork roast. Set cooker on Low and cook for 3 hours. Add carrots to slow cooker and cook 1 more hour; add apples, cranberries, and walnuts and cook until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 hour more.
