Yield: 10 Servings
1 (5-pound) beef brisket, chuck roast or rump roast
1 teaspoon salt
2½ cups apple juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons dried fruit (raisins, prunes, apricots)
Line a large roasting pan with heavy-duty foil, leaving a 1½-inch collar around the edges. Prick the meat with a fork on both sides and sprinkle with salt. Place on a rack in the prepared roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 1 hour.
Remove any excess fat from the pan. Combine the apple juice, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a bowl and mix well. Pour over the meat. Cover the pan with heavy-duty foil and seal tightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 1½ hours or until the meat is tender.
Remove the meat to a warm serving platter and keep warm in a low oven. Pour the meat juices into a saucepan. Stir in the apple and raisins. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer for 3 minutes or until the apple is tender. Slice the meat across the grain and spoon the sauce over the meat.
