Around the corner, how do you cook corn beef and cabbage ?
I slow cook it in the crock pot all day, was just wondering maybe I would get a new recipe

4 Pound Fresh Lean Corned Beef
Large Onion, peeled
4 Whole Cloves
6 Black Peppercorns
6 Clove Garlic
2 Small Dried Chilies
Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper
1/2 Cup Bitter Orange Marmalade

1) Place corned beef in a large, heavy pot; cover with water.

2) Stud the onion with cloves. Add to pot along with the peppercorns, garlic and chilies.

3) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, partially cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Preheat oven to 350 F.

4) Remove beef to a small, shallow baking dish. Set aside 3/4 cup cooking liquid. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper, then spread marmalade over top. Pour reserved cooking liquid into pan. Bake 25 minutes basting occasionally.

Somewhere I have a glazed corned beef srecipe. I'll see if I can find it.

To do a one dish meal add pared parsnips, cabbage wedges, onion quarters, halved carrots and a few spuds to the pot while the beef is in the oven.

Sounds good, but does the marmalade go good with the vinegar for my cabbage, I'm

for this now

With the heat and sour present in the cooking liquid I don't whink you will want to add any vinegar to your cabbage. You might set, on the side, some well aged basalmic to dress at service. That sounds pretty good and the contrasting sweet and sour should compliment the marmalade well. Oh; a super side dish is a cole slaw made with 90 percent green cabbage, five percent red cabbage, 5 percent carrot (all very finely shredded) and dressed with Poppie Seed dressing made by either Marzetti or Kroger( both are exceptional). For the best salad make sure the vegies are shredded, placed in a collander, weighted, and allowed to drain in the refrigerator for two or three hours before being dressed. This removes any water from the vegies which causes the dressing to separate and makes that watery stuff after the salad is a couple of hours old.
