Rinse the meat well under cold running water. I boil the jug, then place meat into crockpot, cover with boiled water and add basically the same as ttwisty - use malt ( brown vinegar) and I cook on high for about 6-7 hrs, then turn to low until ready to serve. I usually serve it with creamy mashed potatoes, shredded cabbage, sauteed in a little water and butter, steamed carrots and either mustard sauce or a good onion sauce.

tina1000, I use either
(a)1 whole bottle ginger ale (usually Budget brand)+1 or 2 halved onions, each ½ onion studded with 3 whole cloves. I have added 1 whole orange, sliced but we didn't notice any appreciable difference in flavour however it's an option.
OR (b) 1 onion, chopped or sliced 10-15 whole black peppercorns 2 bay leaves 2 tbsp brown sugar water to cover the meat
and I base the cooking time on 8-10 hours on AUTO/LOW for a 1. 5 Kg piece of meat. :-))

Did you know that BB drinks contain an artificial sweetner as well as sugar?

According to the ingredient list on the bottle of Budget brand ginger ale that I have currently that is not so. :-))

Its listed as 961. Good news if they have stopped using it, that is the reason we don't buy it anymore.

Our reason for buying Budget brand ginger ale is because in our opinions other brands tend to be lacking in flavour. Here's the list of ingredients as shown on the bottle I have which is dated SEP 10:-
According to my Collins Gem Guide "Natural and Artificial Food Additives" 330 = citric acid 150 = caramel 211 = sodiam benzoate so definitely no mention of 961 or anything other than the above and currently I don't have any other Budget brand drinks to check their ingredient lists. :-))
