Sauer Braten

Ingredients:
5 lbs pot roast
4 large onions sliced
3 heaping tsp. pickling spices
4 bay leaves
1 tbs. Juniper Berries
1 pint vinegar
hot water
To Marinate:
Put all ingredients in a large covered pot. Add enough hot water to cover meat. Let stand in refrigerator 4-5 days. Each day, spoon spices over meat.
To Prepare:
In a large kettle add a small amount of shortening and brown meat on all sides. Strain liquid and add to meat. Cover and simmer slowly 3-4 hours until tender.
Take some of the juice, add a little salt, pepper, (sometimes I add some beef bullion crystals) to taste and thicken for gravy.
Serve with red cabbage, mashed potatoes and peas.

(Note: You can adjust this recipe to make larger or smaller amounts.)
