Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

4 pounds whole corned beef
5 bay leaves
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
whole cloves
1 can (1 pound 15 ounces) spiced peaches

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cover corned beef with water in a large pot. Add bay leaves and onion. Cook over medium heat about 3 hours, until meat is very tender.

    Step 2

    While meat is cooking, mix mustard and brown sugar. Preheat oven to 325°.

    Step 3

    Take meat from water and remove all visible fat. Insert cloves into meat as if it were ham. Cover the meat with the mustard mixture and bake 1 hour, basting frequently with the peach syrup.

    Step 4

    Surround meat with spiced peaches and serve.
