8 -10 peppercorns
3 -5 whole cloves
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 bay leaves
4 liters water (20 cups)

Slice just enough for your meal, what ever is left - return to the water and place in the fridge, this keeps it moist and makes the best sandwich filling EVER!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
