The rub applied at the end made this quite unique. The flavor was wonderful. My five year old gobbled it down to my surprise and my man said it was the best he's ever had! Yay!

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

Oops....forgot to include my rating with my review.
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!!!

This was GREAT! I was worried about putting the sugar mix on the brisket so I had my husband try a little on a cooked piece. He said let's try it, we can always cut it off! We thoroughly enjoyed the new flavor! I had a (4.25# of brisket boiled for just 2 hours). We will definitely use the receipe again. THANK YOU, Connie!
