The Ultimate Irish Feast
The best tasting corned beef ever. i don't always add the cabbage, onions and potatoes; i prefer to make a separate casserole, as i am not fond of boiled cabbage. either way, it's the glaze that makes this corned beef so delicious. I don't remember where the recipe came from, but i have been making it for many years. i buy the largest size brisket i can find, since the leftovers are amazing on rye bread glazed with the mustard.
