Braised Moose
4-6 lbs moose roast
Salt Pork, cut into strips
Claret or any other red wine
Salt
Pepper
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of ground cloves
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, sliced
Tart jelly
Day before, wipe roast with damp cloth. Dip pork in wine. Arrange on roast;
tie in place. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, cinnamon and cloves; lace in a large
bowl. Partially cover with wine; refrigerate for at least 24 hours; turning occasionally.
Next day, preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove meat; reserve marinade, brown meat
well on all sides in heavy skillet or casserole (keep track of browning time), over high heat.
Remove from heat; add 1/2 cup of the reserve marinade; bake in a preheated oven
for a total browning and baking time of 45 minutes per pound. When half cooked, add
1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, bay leaf, onion and a little more marinade. Slice; serve with pan
gravy and jelly.
