I made this recipe last night. I put it (almost all) in my 6qt slow cooker and HA it didn't all fit! I had to omit the 2 diced onions, 1/2C of celery and until most of it cooked down-- I had left out 2C of plums until I had more room.
I was given this recipe by a friend. She raved about it and I thought it sounded good, but I hate lamb. She said it was so good- the lamb doesn't bother you-- she's not a lamb fan either.
She was TOTALLY right! First of all, the plums make the sauce very rich and dark. All the vegetables and meat came out so tasty! For someone who isn't a fan of lamb, I have to admit the dish is good. That being said- I think it's more of a stick to your ribs kinda meal and would probably think about making it in the winter AND would skim about a 1/4 off the recipe. I like the amount it made-- but I had to leave out ingredients to put it in my slow cooker. OH yea, I know the original calls to do this on the stove- but the slow cooker (on low, over night) works well too! I would say that within 12 hours it was done, but since I added the 2 missing cups of plums, I left it in for 2 more hours.
If you want to give it a try and want to ask me any questions, email me at:

Someone posted the same recipe on this blog, and I wish I had seen your posting beforehand, since I found out the same thing about the quantity of ingredients. I had to mix the ingredients in a huge canning pot, then divide the mix in half and cook half on the stove in a Dutch Oven.
