Corned Beef
Corned beef is beef that has been cured in a seasoned brine solution. While great anytime, it's best known for St. Patrick's day celebrations.  Serve this along with Boiled Vegetables
Ingredients:

3 1/2 to 4 pound corned beef brisket
1 onion studded with 4 cloves and cut in half
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon sugar


Preparation:

Place the brisket in a large pan and cover with cold water. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns and sugar. Cover the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. After 30 minutes, skim off any foam residue. Re-cover and cook about 3 1/2 hours, or until tender. Add boiling water as needed to keep the beef submerged.  Remove from pot and let sit, loosely covered with foil for 10 minutes before carving.  Slice the brisket against the grain.  Serves 6 to 8
