  2. I can’t rate the recipe yet because I haven’t made it, but I will. Just one question Rosie and I know this is going to sound dumb but when you put it back into the slow cooker you do take all of the liquid out right! 🙂 Think I will remove it, get rid of the fat and make a dipping sauce with it! Looks good Rosie, thanks!
