Cranberry Pot Roast

This cranberry-and-spice version is a tasty twist on an old Yankee favorite, devised by Eunice M. Grohowski of Harwington, Connecticut.

Type: Meat
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons 30mlAll-purpose flour
4 lbs 1816g / 64ozBeef pot roast
  (boneless chuck or rump roast)
3 tablespoons 45mlSolid vegetable shortening
16 oz 454gWhole-berry cranberry sauce - (1 can)
8   Whole cloves
1   Cinnamon stick
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Rub the flour into the roast. Melt the shortening in a dutch oven. Brown the roast in the shortening, turning it to brown all sides. Reduce the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for at least 3 hours, turning once or twice during the cooking. When the meat is tender, remove from the pan. Strain the drippings and discard the spices. Allow the drippings to cool and skim off the fat that rises to the surface. Reheat the meat in the degreased sauce, then bring to the table to carve, serving the sauce on the side.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
