Recipe from the USA

Preheat the oven to 240°C or, if you have one, use the grill in the oven. Season the meat well with salt and pepper and place it on a rack over a roasting tin in the oven and let it brown on all sides. If you have a large enough pan, it will be quicker and easier in a pan, but such a large piece usually won’t fit in the pan. Remove any dripping fat afterwards. Grease the slow cooker with a little oil to make it easier to clean later, add the apple pieces and place the meat on top. Mix the apple juice, sugar and ginger in a small bowl and pour it over the meat, making sure it is evenly coated. Cover and cook on HIGH for one hour, then reduce to LOW and cook for a further 8 hours (9 hours automatic). The meat should then be nice and tender. Place it on a preheated plate and let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve hot. Pour on the “juice”.
