INSTRUCTIONS
In a 3 quart or larger electric slow cooker, combine shallots, garlic, carrots, ham, orange peel and bay leaf. Coata beef cubes with the 1/4 cup flour; add to the cooker. Sprinkle with peppercorns, thyme, cloves and sage. Drizzle with vinegar; pour in wine and brandy (if used). Cover; cook at low setting until beef is very tender when pierced (8-9 hrs). Remove and discard bay leaf and orange peel from stew, then blend in flour-butter mixture. Increase cooker heat setting to high; cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, until sauce is thickened (about 20 more minutes). Season to taste with salt. Sprinkle with parsley. Makes 8-10 servings. "Traditionally made in a deep pottery casserole, the rich French beef stew known as daube translates nicely to a slow cooker. This version is based on a Christmas Even specialty in Gascony, in southwestern France." Source: Sunset Crockpot Cookbook. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
