Ingredients

2 1/2 cups dry red wine

1 cup red-wine vinegar

Juice of 1 lemon

3 yellow onions, quartered

1 stalk celery, chopped

2 Tablespoons salt

2 Tablespoons sugar

1 Tablespoon mustard seeds

1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

10 cloves

2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns

4 sprigs of parsley

2 bay leaves

1 (4-pound) rump roast, tied

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil or clarified butter

1/2 cup crushed gingersnaps

Directions

In a large bowl stir together well the wine, vinegar, lemon juice, 1 cup water, onions, celery, salt, sugar, mustard seeds, nutmeg, cloves, peppercorns, parsley, and bay leaves. Add the meat and let it marinate, covered and chilled, turning occasionally, for 3 to 4 days.

Remove the meat from the marinade and reserve the marinade.

Season the meat with salt and pepper.

In a heavy kettle heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Add the meat and brown on all sides.

Add the reserved marinade and gently simmer the mixture, covered, for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Transfer the meat to a cutting board.

Strain the cooking liquid and skim off the fat.

Transfer 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid to a saucepan, bring to a boil, and stir in the gingersnaps and the remaining liquid, a little at a time, stirring. Boil the sauce, stirring, until it is thickened and add salt and pepper to taste.

Slice the meat and serve it with the sauce and potato dumplings.

Once a year preparation for my thoroughly German-American husband. I love the gingersnap gravy and I use his mother's recipe which is quite similar. I have never mastered her light touch with the potato dumplings however, mine are sodden lead weights. Any hints?
