Actually pretty simple compared to home made chicken and dumplings. Just browned both sides of a brisket trimmed of fat in a few tblspoons of oil in the dutch oven. Removed brisket and browned onions in drippings. Put brisket on top of onions and pour in a sauce made of canned beef broth, balsamic vinegar, honey, cinamon, ginger, and clove. Cook covered in in 350 degree oven for 2 hours. Add 2 lbs of cubed sweet potatos, dried apricots, and dried plums (aka prunes) and cook for another hour. Pull brisket and slice, remove sweet potatos and fruit with slotted spoon and serve on side. Use broth as a sauce on side. Unique blend of flavors. Easy peasy.
Someone gave me the bottle of raspberry balsamic vinegar and recommended trying it over vanilla ice cream. Actually a very good combo believe it or not.
