Everyone loved it. The rub was a nice bonus. Next time I would cut the cloves to 1/8 tsp.

Served this to 15 ladies in my quilt guild mini-group and they raved about it. Said the best corned beef they ever had. After grating the orange peel, I sliced the orange and added it to the water to cook the beef. Also added small red potatoes to the carrots. It was delicious.

Great recipe. I am Irish and always prepare this dish on St. Patty's Day. Jeannine123 needs to chill! Is she Irish?

Not an authentic Irish meal. They do not have corned beef in Ireland. Mainstay food was fish,lamb potatoes...Please be Informed, not misinformed! This Holiday was created by AMERICANS...Not Ireland!!! Do not get facts messed up with Myths...know the heritage!!!
