    List of Ingredients




    Corned Beef and Cabbage


    7 quarts hot water
    2 cups coarse pickling salt
    1/4 cup dry mustard
    2 tablespoons pickling spice
    10 cloves garlic, plus 10 cloves, crushed
    1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    8 pounds beef brisket
    2 ribs celery, quartered crosswise
    2 onions, quartered
    5 large red potatoes, halved
    3 carrots, peeled and cut crosswise into thirds
    3 parsnips, peeled and cut crosswise into thirds
    3 turnips, peeled and quartered
    1 head of cabbage, cut into 6 wedges

    Recipe



    1. In an 8-quart non-reactive container, stir together hot water, pickling salt, dry mustard, pickling spice, whole garlic cloves, and pepper; let cool. Add beef, and top with a plate to weigh it down and keep it submerged. Let soak in brining liquid for at least 3 days and up to 6 days in the refrigerator.

    2. Rinse brisket under cold water; place in a large pot with remaining crushed garlic cloves, celery, and onions. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, skimming scum from surface. Cover pot, and let cook for 2 hours.

    3. Uncover, adding potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, and cabbage. Cover, and continue to cook until the meat and vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2 hours more.
