Real Corned Beef, Worth the Effort from NPR Kitchen Window

Had a funny dinner the other night involving corned beef.

My FIL invited us over for brisket, and my husband wanted him to use my aunt's recipe. She makes a marinade out of soy sauce, honey, and a couple of other ingredients, then cooks it for eight hours. (It's called Western Brisket and is fabulous.)

So we went over for dinner, and my DH starts cutting the brisket. It looked exactly like corned beef. We started eating it, and it was like eating a salt lick. Turns out my FIL had bought a corned beef brisket, not a regular brisket, and had marinated it in all this soy sauce, etc. It was absolutely terrible.

 
Uh, oh...Don't you just hate it when that happens? I actually bought both a regular

and corned beef brisket to cook over this weekend. I'll have to be careful and not get them mixed up.

 
someone posted a good cornbeef recipe I tried 2 weeks ago

bake about 3-4 hrs then it was topped with a mixture of horseradish, apricot jam and something else it was great
