Homemade Pastrami Crockpot

The recipe comes from a 1975 cookbook that my brother-in-law found at a garage sale called crockpot cookery. this pastrami is amazing. The most important part is that you use a corned beef brisket, which will have already been brined (unless you prefer to brine your own).
