- Mix spices with combined dates, figs, and apples.
- Arrange spiced fruits around the meat.

- Bake at 350 degrees F for 3 hrs, or possibly till tender.
- Remove from oven to cold for 30 min.

- Add in extra flour if necessary.

- Pour batter over the roast allowing the excess to trickle down into the gravy.
- Return meat to warm oven (450 degrees F) for 5 - 10 min so which coating browns nicely.
