½ tsp. garlic powder

½ tsp. pepper

Mix the remaining ingredients, except for the corn starch, together in a small bowl.

Remove the pork from the pan and place it in the prepared slow cooker.

Pour the sauce ingredients into the hot pan and stir, until the honey and marmalade have

Sunday-Best Pot Roast

"Not only is this roast delicious, but it’s a throw-it-in-and-forget-about-it recipe. Layer some onions, garlic and potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker. Put the roast right on top – no searing, no browning. Throw some carrots and seasoning in there and push play. Ten hours later, you’ll be rewarded with meltingly tender beef bathed in a voluptuous sauce. Who wouldn’t want that on a blustery day” Cheryl Beverage Barnes

Ingredients:

2 large onions, peeled and sliced

3 garlic cloves, peeled

6 to 8 Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and halved

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 (4-pound) boneless sirloin tip roast

1 cup hearty red wine

1 cup beef stock

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 bay leaves

½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves

6 carrots, peeled

3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions:

Place the onions, garlic and potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker.

Season with some salt and pepper.

Pat the roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

Place the roast on top of the vegetables. In a large glass measure, combine the wine, stock, 
tomato paste, vinegar, bay leaves and thyme.

Pour into the slow cooker.

Place the carrots on top of the roast; cover and cook on low for 10 hours.

Transfer the roast and carrots from the slow cooker to a cutting board.

Simple Peach Compote

“You can amp up this compote with a variety of spices if desired. Cinnamon, ginger and/or nutmeg would bring a little warmth to the party. The caviar from a vanilla bean can be substituted for the vanilla extract.” Angela

Ingredients:

12 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and cut into a small dice

Juice of a lemon

Pinch of salt (optional)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon good-quality vanilla extract

Directions:

Add diced peaches to a large sauté pan set over medium heat.

Add in the lemon juice, salt and sugar.

Bring to a....

PEACH PEELING TIP: I usually peel my peaches as they are. However, if you find the task too tedious, the peaches can be submerged into a pot of boiling water for 40 - 60 seconds, then removed and allowed to slightly cool. This helps the peel to come off easily without a lot of knife work.
