Cottage Roll With Veggies

Submitted by MummaKat

"I never knew what to do with a cottage roll, but people always bought them like crazy at our store when they went on sale. So I finally bought one and searched for recipes. This is a modification, as the original had too many veggies for it all to fit in the crock pot, and I wanted to make this a crock pot dish."

ingredients

• 3 1⁄2 lbs cottage roll
• 4 potatoes, white, small, halved
• 1 sweet potato, large, cut into 4 sections and halved

• 1⁄2 turnip, 2 inch pieces
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, whole (not crushed )
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 5 cups apple cider
• 3 cups water
• 1⁄3 cup sugar, brown sugar

directions

1. Place the pork cottage roll in a crock pot.
2. Add the potatoes, onion, carrots, parsnips, apple and turnip to the pot.
3. Next fill the pot with the apple cider and water.
4. Take a small piece of cheesecloth (I use a tea ball) and add the bay leaves and peppercorns to it, tie it and drop into pot .
5. Cook in crock pot for 8 hours on low. If doing on the stove top, bring to boil, then simmer for 2.5 - 3 hours.
6. When the meat is cooked remove from pot.
7. In a small bowl mix the brown sugar and mustard together and spread all over the meat. Save the broth, it makes a great base for pea soup!
8. Place in a 325 oven for 15 - 20 minutes and when the meat is cooked, slice and serve with the cooked vegetables.
