Looking for a hearty dish to warm up those cooler evenings? Look no further than this delectable Fruited Pot Roast! It’s not just easy to prepare, but it’s also a delightful treat to come home to after a long day. The preparation time includes the delightful task of soaking the dried fruit, infusing them with flavor that will tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup dried prune
• ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ medium onion
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 4 sticks cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 can of beer (for soaking)
• 3-4 pounds beef roast (your choice of cut)
• 1 tablespoon oil (for browning)

Instructions:

1. Soak the Dried Fruits:

   • In your crock pot, combine the dried prunes, ground ginger, and beer.
   • Let them soak for 1 to 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the fruits to plump up with deliciousness.

2. Add Sweetness:

   • After soaking, stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and honey, creating a symphony of sweet flavors that will infuse the meat with richness.

3. Brown the Meat:

   • In a separate skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
   • Brown the beef roast on all sides, sealing in those savory juices and adding a depth of flavor that will elevate every bite.

4. Layering:

   • Once browned, place the meat atop the bed of fruity goodness in your crock pot, allowing it to nestle in amongst the soaked prunes and aromatic spices.

5. Slow Cooking:

   • Set your crock pot to the low setting for a leisurely cook time of 10 to 12 hours, or if you’re pressed for time, opt for the high setting and cook for 5 to 6 hours.
   • During this time, the flavors will meld together, the meat will become tender and succulent, and your kitchen will be filled with the enticing aroma of a home-cooked meal.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once cooked to perfection, serve your Fruited Pot Roast alongside your favorite sides, perhaps some mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, and revel in the comforting flavors of this hearty dish.
