This recipe is a keeper for my house. I had to work late so the sauce wasn't made. It cooked a little longer (okay two whole hours longer) than recommended so it couldn't be sliced as it fell apart. I will can the broth for later use. Possibly in vegetable soup or something of the like. Two Thumbs Up!!
