You'll notice a subtle touch of fruit and
spices in this alternative to savory pot roasts.
Pantry Pot Roast
- 1 (2-pound) beef chuck pot roast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and ground pepper
1 (7 to 8-ounce) package mixed dried fruit
1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 (5.50-ounce) can apple juice
- Trim fat from meat. In a Dutch oven, brown
meat on all sides in hot oil. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.
Cut up any large pieces of dried fruit.
- In a 3 1/2 or 4-quart electric crockery
cooker, place fruit and onion. Add browned meat. Sprinkle with
allspice, add apple juice. Cover and cook on low-heat setting

on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours or until meat is tender.)
Makes 6 servings.
Test Kitchen Tip: Don't confuse the fruits
in this recipe with dried fruit bits. Look for the packaged mixture
of regular-size dried fruits.
