    Loved this recipe, very tasty. Substituted raspberry vinegar (as I didn't have any wine) but it was delicious. Cooked it on low for 8 hours, though, and it was well worth the wait, the smell was heavenly, too. Thank you for sharing. - 1/16/10

    This stew is fantastic! Everyone in the family loved it! I doubled the recipe so I could freeze some. I also changed the cook time. I cooked on low for 3 hours then on high for 2. Everything came out perfect. I would have cooked on low for 8 but I didn't have enough time. Highly recommended! - 9/15/09
