We remove the upper and lower shank meat from the bone whole and freeze. When ready to cook I slice each shank in half crosswise, season well with salt, garlic powder and lemon pepper (the kind with chunky peppercorns is best) and sear in a cast iron skillet with a dab of butter or bacon grease. Don't bother removing any of the silver stuff. It improves the flavor. Set in the crock pot with 2 cups of bone broth, 1/4 cup apricot jam, 1/4 cup homemade honey bbq sauce, 1 red onion cut into 8ths, 1/3 cup unsweetened chokecherry juice, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, and 3 cloves crushed garlic. I usually do 2-4lbs of meat for this amount of sauce. Cook on low for 10-12 hours.Could you share the shank recipe?
