Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
As you know, all of these measurements are not the way I make my stew, but the amounts give a starting point. I add whatever vegetables are in the fridge, turnips, frozen peas, zucchini, etc.

I often made it in the oven as it didn't need to be watched so carefuly. But now I make it in the instapot. Saute the meat & onions, add the juice and veggies and pressure cook for about 1 hour. Then turn to saute and add the dumpings. The easiest 1 pot dish of comfort food ever!

The inspiration for this recipe came from my Purity cookbook, a shower gift 54 years ago!
