  • 1 1/4 pounds round steak, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and finely diced
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups dried currants
  • 2 1/2 cups raisins
  • 1/2 pound chopped candied mixed fruit peel

  1. In a Dutch oven, combine beef and apple cider. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, or until meat is tender. Remove meat and coarsely chop, then return it to the pot.
  2. Stir in chopped apples, sugar, currants, raisins, citrus peel, butter and cherry preserves. Add ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Let simmer, uncovered, over low heat until mixture is very thick, about 90 minutes. Stir in cherries and remove from heat.
