Cottage Roll With Veggies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 lbs cottage roll
4 potatoes, white, small, halved
1 sweet potato, large, cut into 4 sections and halved
2 carrots, large, 2 inch slices
2 parsnips, large, 2 inch slices
1 apple, granny smith, sliced
1/2 turnip, 2 inch pieces
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, whole (not crushed )
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups apple cider
3 cups water
1/3 cup sugar, brown sugar
1/8 cup mustard, yellow

Preparation

Place the pork cottage roll in a crock pot.
Add the potatoes, onion, carrots, parsnips, apple and turnip to the pot.
Next fill the pot with the apple cider and water.
Take a small piece of cheesecloth (I use a tea ball) and add the bay leaves and peppercorns to it, tie it and drop into pot .
Cook in crock pot for 8 hours on low. If doing on the stove top, bring to boil, then simmer for 2.5 - 3 hours.
When the meat is cooked remove from pot.
In a small bowl mix the brown sugar and mustard together and spread all over the meat. Save the broth, it makes a great base for pea soup!
Place in a 325 oven for 15 - 20 minutes and when the meat is cooked, slice and serve with the cooked vegetables.
