Hi Ice Cool Kitty! We had this for dinner tonight. It was something new for me- never had apple or sultanas with beef before! I had to use sultanas because we didn't have any raisins (one of those moments when one assumes one has an ingredient that one does in fact NOT have!). Also, we ran out of jalapenos, so I chopped up a mild green pepper and added a little cayenne to make up for the lack of heat. The recipe tasted great- a little sweet and savoury mixed together! Next time I think I'll make it a little more wet though, it would be better with a little sauce of some kind. My family all rated it in between 4 and 4.5. Yum! Thanks Ice Cool Kitty. Made on behalf of the Genies for ZWT5.
