We look forward to St Patrick’s Day all winter: there’s always hot corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes. Corning beef is easy, it just takes time. Dissolve 5 tablespoons of Homemade Corned Beef Spices blend into your brine. Add a 5 lb. brisket, weighted down so it is submerged. Let it marinate in the fridge for 4 or 5 days and improve your corned beef recipe.
