Cranberry Pot Roast

Ingredients

10 lb 4.5 kg chuck roll
1 tsp 5 mL garlic powder
    crushed pepper to taste
1/4 cup 50 mL vegetable oil
8 8 carrots peeled cut in 1 inch chunks
4 4 finely sliced onions
9 9 whole cloves
Cranberry sauce
32 oz 900 g fresh or frozen cranberries
3 1/2 - 4 cups 875 mL-1L sugar to taste
1 cup 250 mL cranberry juice
1 cup 250 mL orange juice
2 tbsp 30 mL orange peel

Instructions

Rub meat with garlic powder and pepper. Brown meat on all sides in oil in a roasting pan. Add rest of the ingredients. Place meat over the vegetables. Cover and cook at 250°F (120°C) until meat is tender 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove meat and reserve. Skim fat as much as possible. Add ingredients from sauce to rotisserie pan, bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve on sliced pot roast.

Serving Suggestions

Note: If you want a thinner sauce, pass sauce through a sieve to remove vegetables before adding the ingredients of the cranberry sauce. You will need to thicken the sauce with cornstarch.

Note: you can use 2 cups (500 mL) of whole cranberry sauce and omit orange juice and peel. Adjust seasonings and thicken the sauce. Heat until slightly thickened.

Servings: 15 portions
