I agree that the temps should be on low for 8 hours, adding garlic and pepper but also like to add parsnips and turnips with the other vegies. Once I added caraway seeds to give it a different flavor..some of the family liked it, some not.

I loved this as a base, just added medium chunks of apples and oranges to the mix, did as others did and used a crock pot for 7-8 hours. 1 1/2 Tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a little of the applejuice and added helps thicken it. The fresh ginger as suggested by others is a definite PLUS. I serve with Sweet Potatoes cut into cubes, sprayed with Trader Joe's Olive Oil Spray, cooked in microwave. I suppose you could add them to crock pot too, if you wish, but I like the flavors separate.
