Good stuff!, Member flh462002

I made this stew this past weekend and it is wonderful! The person who said the ham came out dry probably never stirred the stew, and just left it on top. I stirred it several times during cooking to blend all the ingredients, and added a bit more cider than called for (not much) but between that, the natural moisture in the veggies and apple, and the water & flour mixture added at the end, it has plenty of broth and is delicious. I also added white pepper in addition to fresh ground black pepper, and used balsamic vinegar instead of cider vinegar. The sweeter balsamic blends very well with the other flavors.
