| 1. Combine onions, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, vinegar, and water. | 2. Arrange meat in a covered earthenware or Tupperware container and pour pickling solution over the top of the meat. | 3. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days (the longer it marinades, the more flavor soaks into the meat). | 4. Turn the meat once or twice a day. | 5. Remove the meat from the solution and pat dry. | 6. Remove and discard the bay leaves and peppercorns. | 7. Strain and reserve the onions. | 8. Put a little oil (I like to go light, if I can, and use extra virgin olive oil or Canola, but you can use a couple of tablespoons of butter) in a skillet and heat and cook reserved onions until they are transparent, but not brown. | 9. Remove onions and brown meat on all sides in the same oil. | 10. Place onions and meat in a slow cooker/crock pot and fill the crock pot with a cup of the pickling solution. | 11. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the meat is cooked through and tender. | 12. When meat is done, remove to a warm platter and cover to keep warm. | 13. Add any remaining marinade to a skillet. | 14. Add brown sugar, raisins, crumbled ginger snaps (I pound these out in a Ziploc bag to crush them). | 15. Stir and cook until the sauce is smooth and has thickened--about 15-20 minutes. | 16. Serve the sauce over the slices of meat and put the remainder of the sauce in a gravy boat. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
