Add tomato juice, horseradish, and wine; mix well. Return meat to pan. 3. Cover and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until

done. (Or cook in a 325F oven for same amount of time.) Turn meat once to cook it evenly throughout and baste with sauce. Skim off excess fat. 4. If sauce is too thin, remove meat to a platter and keep warm. Mix 2 tablespoosn flour in 1/3 cup cold water. Add mixture
