Corned Beef and Cabbage
Refrigerate leftover corned beef. It makes a delicious sandwich
when served on rye bread spread with spicy mustard and topped
with Swiss cheese. For a Reuben, add a dab of sauerkraut.
3 to 4 lb. corned beef brisket
1 onion, halved
2 ribs celery with tops
1 carrot, peeled
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. black peppercorns
2 cloves garlic
4 to 6 new potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 to 6 carrots, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
1 medium head cabbage, cut into wedges
Cover meat with cold water and add onion, celery, 1 carrot, bay
leaves, pepper and garlic. bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer
about 3 hours or until meat is tender.
When fork pierces the meat easily, it is done. Leave in broth for
an additional hour. Remove meat from broth. Boil potatoes,
remaining carrots and cabbage in corned beef broth until tender,
about 10 minutes. When vegetables are done, serve on plate with
several slices corned beef on top of vegetables.

Corned Beef and Cabbage
2 cups of water
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard, divided
1 medium head cabbage, cut into 8 wedges ( approx. 2 pounds)
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill, OR
1/2 teaspoon fried dill weed
2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pound corned beef brisket
Place brisket and water in Dutch oven; cover tightly and cook 1 hour at 350 degrees (F).
( It is very important to simmer the meat slowly because boiling will cause meat to become tough.) Turn brisket over and continue cooking, covered, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until meat is tender. Remove brisket from cooking liquid and place, flat-side up, on rack in broiler pan so surface of meat is 3 to 4 inches from heat.
Combine honey with 1 tablespoon mustard; brush half of mixture over top of brisket and broil 3 minutes. Brush with remaining mixture and continue broiling 2 minutes, or until brisket is glazed. Meanwhile, steam cabbage 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Combine remaining mustard with butter and dill; spread over hot cabbage wedges. Carve brisket diagonally across the grain into thin slices and serve with cabbage.

Horseradish Sauce
1/2 pt Whipping Cream
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
Whip cream until it stand in peaks. Fold in horseradish.
*We prefer our cabbage crispy firm, so, we cook it separately. Cooked quickly in boiling water, it retains its beautiful bright green color. We season it heavily with fresh ground pepper and we don't go easy on the butter!
Here is another Corned Beef "sauce" which sounds really tasty: Sliced the beef and place it on an oven proof serving platter. Mix up 2 tablespoons of mustard, 2 tablespoons of catsup and 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed). Spread over the corned beef. If it is a large piece, double the recipe. Put it back in the oven for a bit to warm the sauce

I agree Ms. Mai! They all sound good mama- but this one jumped right out and appealed to me in a big way, too! I'd like it also w/ peas in place of the spinach- but I love spinach too!
