Prep time:
15 minutes
cooking time:
2 1/2 to 3 hours

Ingredients

 

  • 1 (5 pound) beef brisket, trimmed
  • 1 medium onion, cut into quarters
  • 2 cloves garlic, cut into halves
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 1 1/4 cups apple jelly
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine or white wine vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons brown mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon each cracked black pepper and curr powder

Occasionally, Grandma turned this beef dish into sauerbraten, a tangy German pot roast. She browned the brisket in a little oil, then added 13 cup apple jelly and 114 cups vinegar. When the beef was tender, she added 14 cup firmly packed light brown sugar and cooked it until the brown sugar was dissolved. Grandma thickened the cooking liquid with flour or cornstarch and served it as a sauce with the sliced beef brisket.
