This is a recipe that my daughter found on a blog and e-mailed me last year. It states that it is adapted from "The Jewish Holiday Cookbook", by Gloria Kaufer Greene (Times Books). I'm posting this directly from the e-mail, so the proportions have not been altered to feed one person for a few meals, but it can be done. According to it, you can use a pot, a pressure cooker, a crockpot, many different cuts of meat, and the results are still delicious.

How To Make zippy cranberry pot roast

  • 1
    Combine tomato sauce, cranberry sauce, horseradish, mustard, vinegar, wine or juice and oil in a large Dutch oven or other pot. Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat until just simmering and cook for 5 minutes. Trim all excess fat from the roast and add to pot. Turn in sauce to cover. Cover pot and simmer over low heat, basting meat and occasionally turning. Cook for 2 to 4 hours, or until meat is very tender.
  • 2
    After removing meat from pot, cook down the sauce by leaving the pot uncovered and raising heat to medium-high. Stir occasionally, until it reaches the thickness that you want.

    This dish freezes very well, if you have any left to store away, that is. Serve with a vegetable and fried potato latkes (pancakes) or over egg noodles.
