Instructions: Brown meat in fat;pour off drippings. Add water, soy sauce, pepper, and onions. Cover and simmer 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours. Add apples, raisins and brown sugar(helps to take some liquid from pan and mix with sugar before pouring over meat);cook for another 1/2 hour.

Note: I bake in 325 degree oven and find it takes less time. If you can make day ahead, separate meat from sauce,refrigerate,and will slice easier.

By separating fruit from sauce and chilling, allows any fat to be skimmed before reheating.
