Venison Roast Marinated in Buttermilk

Rub the roast well with a mixture of:
1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground red chile pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon sage
1 tablespoon vinegar.

Let roast sit a couple hours, then marinate in:
4 sliced onions
4−5 bay leaves
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Small stick of cinnamon
1/2 gallon buttermilk

Drain roast, discard marinade. Brown roast well in a bit of bacon grease in a dutch oven. Drain grease. Add a bottle of good beer or cider. Cover and bake slowly, 300−325F for an hour or two. Add a couple onions, carrots, a couple apples and a sweet potato or two. Add more beer, cider or water to maintain liquid level. Continue to roast until vegetables and roast are tender.
Serve with a green salad and corn bread.
