Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Press the whole cloves into one side of corned beef. Place in a large pot, clove-side up and add water to cover meat. Add honey, basil, peppercorns and heat until liquid boils. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 1 hour. Turn brisket over and cover pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
Put potatoes, turnips and carrots in pot with meat. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add cabbage and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
