Ingredients

2 1/2 lb. chuck roast

2 teaspoons of salt

2 cups of apple cider

8 cups of chopped apples, cored

1 1/2 cups of raisins chopped

1 1/2 cups of currants chopped

1 teaspoon of mace

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 teaspoon of allspice

1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

1 teaspoon of ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon of cloves

3 cups of sugar

1/4 cup of molasses

1 cup of apple cider vinegar

1 whole orange, juice and rind chopped fine

1 whole lemon, juice and chopped fine

1/2 cup of brandy, sherry or rum, your choice

6 tbsp. of butter

Directions

Trim excess fat from chuck roast, season with salt and cook on low in slow cooker for four hours in the apple cider, until it is falling apart.

Remove meat from cooker and cool.

**Hint: to chop raisins and currants more easily, sprinkle with the sugar and chop the sugard fruit. Your knife moves more easily through the fruit***

To the cider/meat broth in the cooker, add the cored chopped apples, seasonings, raisins, currants, sugar, molasses, vinegar, orange segment with rinds (pith removed), lemon segments, with rind (pith removed).

Cook on low setting for 3 hours.

Chop the meat untl very fine (processor makes life a lot easier)

Add to fruit mixture. Cook on low one more hour to meld the flavors.

Cool. Stir in liquor of choice and softened butter. Stir well. Butter is used instead of beef suet from the original recipe.

Pack into sterilized jars. Store in the refrigerator and let it mellow for a week before eating.
