Fruited Pot Roast image

This is a great alternative to the usual way of cooking a pot roast since it has just a little hint of fruity sweetness to it, and the cooked apricots and prunes add a delicious depth of flavor to the roast as well.

Time 4h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons shortening or 2 tablespoons salad oil
4 lbs beef chuck eye roast, boneless
2 medium onions, sliced
1 cup apple cider or 1 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon seasoned pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups dried apricots
1 1/2 cups pitted prunes
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional)
1/4 cup water (optional)
2 teaspoons gravy master cooking and browning sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • In 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, in hot shortening, cook chuck roast until well browned on all sides.
  • Add onions, apple cider or juice, brown sugar, salt, seasoned pepper and cloves; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 3 1/2 hours or until meat is almost fork-tender, turning meat occasionally and adding more cider or juice during cooking, if necessary.
  • Add the apricots and the pitted prunes to the mixture in the Dutch oven. Continue cooking 20 minutes or until the meat is fork-tender. Place the meat on a warm platter.
  • Spoon the fat from liquid in the Dutch oven. If you like, blend flour and water until smooth; gradually stir into the pan liquid and cook over medium heat. If you like, for a little extra flavor, you can add 2 teaspoons of Gravy Master cooking and browning sauce. Stir constantly until the mixture is thickened. Serve sauce with the meat.
