Ingredients

• 3 pounds corned beef brisket (with seasoning packet)
• 8 cups water
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the corned beef brisket in a large pot or Dutch oven and add the contents of the seasoning packet that came with the brisket.

Step 2

Pour in 8 cups of water, ensuring the brisket is fully submerged. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and ground black pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 6

Once the brisket has finished cooking, carefully remove it from the pot and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Generously spread the glaze over the top and sides of the corned beef using a spoon or basting brush.

Step 8

Bake the glazed corned beef in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 10

Serve the corned beef warm and enjoy it with your favorite sides like potatoes, cabbage, or carrots.
