The countdown begins...

It's 1:45am and the roast is in the crock pot.  Here's to hoping it turns out well.

Ingredients:

Dry rub:

2 tsp salt

1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder.

Sauce:

1 8oz jar of persimmon chutney

1.5 (ish) cups of white wine

1-2 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp dried minced onion

Unknown amount of honey....2-3 tbsp?

Pinch of kosher salt

1-2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

Possibly some forgotten ingredients

Roast was placed fatty side down.  It will be cooked on low for 8-10 hours (checked at the 8 hour mark).

Before Picture:

The sauce tasted good before I put the meat in...but then that was before I put all the ingredients for the sauce.  I'm hoping (praying) that it turns out ok.  We shall see I guess.  Also, as I said before, I'll be using a roux to thicken the sauce...if it needs thickening.

Maybe I should have browned the roast before I put it in the crock pot?  I guess it's too late now.  If the recipe is good I will try browning it first next time to give it a little extra flavor!

I plan to serve it with some delicious German Spaetzle (a tiny pasta).

WISH ME LUCK!
