Heart Breaker Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Roast
4 -5 lbs rump roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups dried prunes
2 cups water
Sauce
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat a heavy deep pan on medium-high heat.
Add oil, and brown roast on all sides until a golden crust forms.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add prunes and 2 cups of water.
Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
Remove meat from liquid and place on a platter.
If you wish, you can strain out the prune pieces, but save the juices!
Stir in vinegar, water, sugar, cloves and cinnamon. Cook rapidly until a thick sauce is formed.
Pour sauce over and around meat.
I like to serve garlic mashed potatoes, and green beans with this dish.
