Crockpot Apple Raisin Brisket

It's very rare that I find fresh brisket in the regular meat case.  (and on sale)  I bought one, and here it is.  My "picky eater" daughter even said that it was good.  Normally, I would serve this with mash potatoes, only tomorrow (being Thanksgiving)  my contribution to the family meal is mashed potatoes for 26 people. 
That being said,  I gave the kids noodles, while my husband and I got Quinoa with Toasted Pine Nuts. (see next blog listing for recipe)  The original recipe calls for a 5 lb brisket,  I used a 3 lb.  There are some leftovers for Friday. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

1  3-5 lb fresh brisket
3 cups apple juice
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup raisins
1 chopped apple

• Add a small amount of oil, and sear meat on both sides
• Place meat in slow cooker and add apple juice, honey, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg
• Cook on low for 7 hours (or an hour before meat is done)  Add raisins and chopped apple
• Cook for 1 more hour
• After meat is cut,  pour juices with raisins and apples over meat and potatoes or pasta
