Procedure:

Bring all the marinade ingredients to a boil. Allow to cool. Pour over the meat. Allow meat to marinate 2 to 3 days, tuning 2 to 3 times daily.

Remove the meat and pat dry.

In a large pan, melt the butter and quickly brown the roast on all sides. Add some of the marinade, including any vegetables, and the broth. Allow to cook for 1-1/2 hours, until done.

Remove the roast and keep warm.

For the sauce: Allow the juices to cook down some. Add the mustard and bring to a boil. Gradually adding salt, pepper, and/or more marinade to taste. Pour through a sieve.

Stir in the sour cream. Add the Tabasco and white grapes. Do not boil again.

Goes great with potato dumplings, red cabbage, and green beans.

* Because we do not consume alcohol, we use unsweetened red grape juice and additional red wine vinegar.

** Use stone ground or other hearty mustard.
