Steps:
- Trim fat from meat and if need be, cut the meat to fit the cooker (3 1/2 to 4-quart cooker).
- Brown meat on top of stove in a Dutch oven. Brown on all side using the 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.
- Cut up any large pieces of dried fruit; place the fruit in the slow cooker; add the onion wedges. Place the meat on top of the fruit and onion; sprinkle with allspice and pour in the apple juice.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hour.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut, chop, and measure all of your ingredients before you start cooking. This will save you time and help you stay organized.
- Brown your meat before adding it to the slow cooker: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. You can do this in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Use low-sodium ingredients: Many canned and processed foods are high in sodium. To reduce the sodium content of your slow cooker meals, use low-sodium or no-salt-added ingredients whenever possible.
- Add vegetables and herbs towards the end of the cooking time: This will help them retain their nutrients and flavor.
- Don't overfill your slow cooker: The slow cooker should be no more than two-thirds full. Overfilling it can prevent the food from cooking evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the food is cooked to a safe internal temperature: This is especially important for poultry and pork.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker meals are a great way to save time and energy in the kitchen. With a little planning and preparation, you can create delicious and healthy meals that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're short on time, don't be afraid to reach for your slow cooker. With these tips, you're sure to have a successful slow cooker meal.
