By Booper-2

There's nothing like the smell of corned beef simmering slowly over a warm stove! What an easy way to make a hearty meal of meat and vegetables.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 corned beef brisket with spice packet (2 to 3 pounds)
• 2 medium onions, sliced
• 2 quarts water
• 1 cup apple juice
• 8 carrots, cut into 3-inch pieces
• 1 small head cabbage

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine first four ingredients; set aside.

In a Dutch oven, place corned beef and seasoning packet. Add onions, water, and apple juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours or until meat is tender.

Remove brisket from cooking liquid and place in a greased roasting pan. Rub sugar mixture over warm meat. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, add carrots to cooking liquid. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Cut cabbage into eight wedges, leaving a portion of the core on each wedge; add to carrots. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Thinly slice meat; serve with vegetables.
