Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (5 1/2 pound) corned beef brisket

  • 2 tablespoons pickling spice

  • 1 large orange, sliced in rounds

  • 1 large onion, sliced

  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

  • 3/4 cup cold water, divided

  • 6 tablespoons margarine, divided

  • 1 large head cabbage, cored, and sliced

  • 1 cup Golden Delicious apples, cored and quartered with peel

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch roasting pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough extra extending over the sides to cover and seal in roast.

  2. Rinse brisket and pat dry. Rub with pickling spice, then place in the prepared roasting pan. Arrange orange, onion, and celery slices on and around the roast. Pour in 1/2 cup water, then wrap the aluminum foil up tightly over the roast, making sure the ends are sealed.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until meat is tender, about 4 hours.

  4. About 45 minutes before the roast is done, heat remaining 1/4 cup water and 3 tablespoons margarine in a large pot. Add cabbage and apples, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom.

  5. Top cabbage and apples with remaining margarine and serve with sliced corned beef.
