Luv the recipe, but what do you do with the BROWN SUGAR ,Please let me know - 29 Apr 2012
Very tasty dinner. There was no need to thicken the gravy as there was not much there. I will definately add more stock next time as I like to drown my mash in the gravy - 10 Oct 2011
Simply brilliant! I cooked this dish when experimenting with my first slow cooker and it worked out pretty much perfectly. The meat was better then I had hoped, however I will use less sugar next time as I found the sauce too sweet. Otherwise, it was lovely and I am a heroine in my household. - 18 Jun 2010
