1 Pound Ice

1 Large Onion, Julienned

( whatever vegetation you wish - I used two large carrots and a rutabaga )

Combine all brine ingredients except ice in saucepot. Heat to a simmer stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Add roast brine and ice to sealable fridge safe recepticle. Let brine for at least 8 hours.

When ready to start the actual cooking, add the onion to the bottom of the slowcooker pot.
Add apple slices
place roast on top of onions and apples
Add vegatation of choice
