Ingredients
- 4 lbs chuck roast or preferred cut (do not brown first)
- 1/2 lb. suet (optional)
- 1 lb raisins (washed)
- Apple Juice (as needed)
- 1 pint applesauce
- 1 lb dried apples
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 - 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 C vinegar (maybe more)
Directions
- Boil the meat (keep covered in water) until very tender
- Cool the meat and grind in a food processor, and put the broth aside.
- Reconstitute the dried apples (boil in water until it's a thick sauce)
- Mix broth (1/2 C minimum) and all ingredients, let simmer on a low heat for about 1 hour. Add apple juice as needed to keep moist. Stir often or it will burn.
- Taste: if it tastes flat add vinegar and salt.
Notes
“This recipe takes a lot of tasting and discussion as to – more salt? more vinegar? more sugar? maybe allspice? cinnamon? what do you think? hmm-m-m well?”
