Sweet and Sour Pot Roast


I had an arm roast in my CSA subscription and was wondering what to do with it. I found this recipe in Neiman-Marcus' No Jacket Required. It was very tender and full of flavor, but it was a little too sweet for my tastes. On the other hand, Chris was a big fan of it and had seconds. If you like sweet and sour things, this is definitely something for you to try.
Sweet and Sour Pot Roast
serves 6 to 8
1 tb shortening
4 lbs arm or chuck roast
2 onions, sliced
1/4 teas pepper
1/4 teas ground cloves
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
juice of 2 lemons
salt to taste
Heat shortening in a heavy skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Add roast and onions. Brown, turning frequently. Add remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer over low heat for 3 to 3 1/2 hours until meat is very tender, turning every 45 minutes and uncovering for the last 15 minutes to reduce the juices.
