There are also recipes on-line to fix the already corned brisket in my fridge, and some of them I have tried in years past, with less than impressive results. Looking for a recipe some one, such as you and other compatriots on Mudcat swear by.

After these long years in the upper south, I suppose I ought to have adopted the tradition of beans and greens, hoppin' john, etc. I've never developed a taste for black-eyed peas, nor for collards, however. Pintos and kale, turnips or mustard greens, for sure and for certain - but not for New Years, and misses the mark down here in these parts, regardless. It's corned beef and cabbage for me and mine - and I have the shiny new dime at hand. Just want a better recipe.
