Sounds lovely!

I like it best in the pressure cooker...the spices are infused throughout the meat.

Hello to all my QVC pals,

Zhills thers more if you want more!

Mary Bailey I hope your corned beef and cabbage was delicious too.

Northernlights if you need some leftovers give a holler.

Hi terrier3, yes I make it in my digital pressure cooker too when I make smaller quantities.

It was absolutely fabulous.

Tender but still held its shape.

The potatoes were out of this world and the marinade was so tasty.

The cabbage was cooked enough to be delicious and I also made the sour cream horseradish sauce which was really a great touch to a wonderful dish.

I hope you will try this recipe as written or with my own favorite horseradish sauce......either way it is worth the time to make it, because it is really superb tasting.

Plenty more if anyone else is hungry.

I make this often and I use my crock pot. I will share this with you gals though. The ONLY brand I buy is Cook's. They are the same company that make hams.

I just made a corned beef that Wal Mart sells and it was not good at all. DH knew immediately it wasn't Cook's.

It comes with a seasoning pack but my German grandma always threw in peppercorns, and a whole head of garlic - not peeled.

I then made smothered cabbage by frying bacon. When the bacon was cook I removed it and put in cut up cabbage and peppered it, tossed it around for a few minutes or so, then lowered the heat and put a lid on it. After 20 minutes, it was done and I then crumbled the bacon on it. It's way better than plain boiled cabbage.

I make the horseradish sauce with sour cream and I use this when I make prime rib too.

That must be regional, I've never heard of it. Walmart, Costco and Sams all sell the same brand here. I've never had anyone turn it down.

Where do you buy Cooks corned beef?

Hint:

I use my own seasonings and place them in a very fine tea strainer, close the lid well, and let the tea strainer hang into the pot with the other end hooked on to the pot rim.

This way no one is pickling those loose spices out of their food, or biting into them.

If I received a bad piece of food I would go to the hospital as soon as I became ill, and have them report what I ate to the Health Department, to see if it becomes a recall bad food issue.

Well I don't use my own spices but I have a large tea ball for the same purpose.

Hi Debc,

Either fresh or packaged corned beef spices are fine, but since I purchase my spices by the pound I tend to use them instead and I always use the tea strainer to place them in.

Pickling spice used in recipes, as well as in Corned Beef recipes consists of Cinnamon, Allspice, Mustard Seed, Coriander, Bay Leaves, Ginger, Chilies, Cloves, Black Pepper, Mace, Cardamom, and to that I always add some garlic powder.
