Yummy Sweet Roast in the Crock Pot

Originally I had a recipe for this... but I change it a little bit each time I make it and in the process I don't even know where the recipe is.  It goes a little something like this...

1-2 pounds of roast ( Thawed )
1tsp salt
2 tsp cumin
6 garlic cloves (I mince them but you can probably toss them in whole)
1 onion (diced)
1 cup tomato (depending what I have on hand I will dice fresh tomatoes or use tomato paste or sauce)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup olives
handful of raisins  (or more if you prefer sweeter)
olive oil
Whatever else you want to add!  Depending on what's around I will toss in whole potatoes or chopped carrots.

**You get extra points if all of your ingredients are organic and if your meat is free range and antibiotic free.

Take the salt and cumin (mixed together) and rub into the meat.  Take olive oil and pour just enough into the slow cooker to cover the bottom.  Add meat. Toss in remaining ingredients.

I usually set this in my crock pot for 6 hours... but it starts to smell really good and is usually done (easy to shred with a fork) in about 4 hours. 

Ohhh snaps... I think I will make this today. :)
